Hi

I cannot see the "Title" and "Caption" fields in the Upload field type (see the picture).

They seem to be turned off.

Is there something I could do?

Regards,

Hi Andreas, 

Because that PDF is from the shared Media Library you can only edit it in the Media Library.  Also, any edits will apply to all the records that use that file.

Try clicking "From media library" to jump to that file in the media library and editing it there.

Hi Andreas, 

This should be fixed now, can you re-test?

It was related to a bug with older MariaDB versions (the database server) where NULL values were incorrectly stored as "NULL" text.

Uploads have a field "mediaNum," which is used when referencing media library uploads. However, due to this database bug, they were storing this unexpected text instead of the (no value defined) that NULL represents.

When restoring old database backups you can check for DEFAULT 'NULL', and replace it with DEFAULT NULL, to try and prevent this issue.

Alternately, if you upgrade to a recent PHP and CMSB, we added a workaround for this MariaDB issue a couple years back.

Hope that helps!  Let me know if you have any other questions.
