Protection Interface Upgrade

Currently if you press f on a chest or something to protect and you want to add someone to it you would find this:

My suggestion is to make it so that you can add more than one player at a time into the protection through the interface. For example instead of having "Enter player name" and only be one spot, have the option for there to be multiple spots to enter multiple usernames. Once someone is done entering all the usernames they can press ok and all them get addded.

Another would be the possibility to make an option for the protection interface to remember what you put in for the last protection. like a toggle button where when you toggle it on it shows every one from last protected item you did and if its off all the lines are clear. Making it easier to add players to chests.

Sounds perfect, I don't get the second thing though. Can someone explain?

pretty much say you added these players to your previous chest

"Billy" "Suzan" "Henry"

If you click a button somewhere on that interface, the next time you go to protect a chest you will see

"Billy" "Suzan" "Henry"

already typed in. If you do not turn it on then those names wont show up.

I dont understand.
How do you want to have the interface look instead?
Process of adding 4 players right now:
Look at it
press F
click permissions
click add, type first characters of name, pick from list, click ok (takes 3 seconds)
click add, type first characters of name, pick from list, click ok (takes 3 seconds)
click add, type first characters of name, pick from list, click ok (takes 3 seconds)
click add, type first characters of name, pick from list, click ok (takes 3 seconds)

How exactly do you want it to be and how much time would it safe you?

And after all, why do you not use regions? They protect the chests giving the members access at the same time

I run a town on a server and we all need different protected chests and sometimes multiple chests need many more players protected at one time. In future my town is planning to add new players and with adding new players we wish to keep some things protected for a set amount of time and once the player has been here a while they get added to a protection.

Also if you were mentioning about the chest access flag from the region then that wouldnt work because players wouldnt be able to access shop chests idk.

here is a concept image for what I think could work. Pretty much its like giving the player more options to allow the player to add more players at one time and also allowing the thing to remember what the player last put in. Only needing one Ok button so it would be a bit faster. If a spot has nothing typed in then it would be ignored.
