Sick of adding a image to your post content then also setting it as the featured image in a separate action? Of course you are!
This plugin solves this problem by adding a new button alongside the “Insert into post” button in the media manager modal. When clicked, this button will insert your selected media and then, if you have selected an image, set that image as the post’s featured image.
It is possible to select multiple media items to insert, so this plugin will set the last image in the selected set as the featured image. The button will appear in the media manager modal for all post types.
This plugin works with WordPress 5.0+, but it will only work with Classic block or in the Classic Editor. It does not currently work with the Image block (or any other similar ones).

Instant Featured Image

Set an image as the featured image at the same time as you insert it into the post content.

Dynamically adds multiple featured image or multiple post thumbnail functionality to your page, posts and custom post types. This plugin provides you an interface to add any number of featured image as you want without writing a single line of code. These featured images can then be collected by the various theme functions.
Overview
Dynamic Featured Image enables the option to have MULTIPLE featured images within a post or page. 
This is especially helpful when you use other plugins, post thumbnails or sliders that use featured images. 
Why limit yourself to only one featured image if you can do some awesome stuffs with multiple featured image? 
DFI allows you to add different number of featured images to each post and page that can be collected by the various theme functions.
