Thanks for your question, which looks like its related to your post in a related topic:
Map title to alt text
I hope the suggestions I gave there have been helpful. Your question here is slightly different; it asks about populating ALT Text from an IPTC value.
IPTC does not have a specific “Title” value, but the IPTC “Object Name” or “Headline” fields are used for the same purpose. WordPress uses these values, when present, to initialize the Media Library item Title. You can find more information in the “WordPress default title, slug and description mapping” section of the Settings/Media Library Assistant Documentation tab.
If you want to populate your ALT Text directly from the IPTC value, you can use the “Field-level IPTC Identifiers and Friendly Names” listed in the Documentation tab. For example, you can access the Object Name as template:[+iptc:object-name+] or template:[+iptc:2#005+].
I hope that gives you the information you need. I am marking this topic resolved, but please update it if you have any problems or further questions regarding the above suggestions. Thanks for your interest in the plugin.
