Media field picker failing inside a Bag

[DJ-Paxton]

Hi all, I'm trying to create an information page, which will have some elements and one of those should be a list of links and attachments.

This is the structure, which is pretty basic:

Both the list and the bag contains the Attachment Type which contains just a Media field

The Media field only allows a few media types, and the PDF type is one of them.

So far so good, I've uploaded some files and everything seems to work fine BUT, when I try to select a file when creating content it will only show images:

As an example, in the previous image I created a new Information Page, and I added a new Attachment in the Bag, and when the media picker opens, it only show a jpg file, if I try to upload a file it will only allow me to upload gif, jpg, jpeg, png and svg files.

By not changing anything, if I create instead an Attachment element (same type that the Bag is using), it works just as expected:

As you can see, it's the same folder, but now it's showing all the documents.

As a workaround I can use a List instead of a Bag but it changes the behavior of the content creation.

I'll appreciate any help or ideas

If I change to All Files and try to upload an element that's already in the Media Library

It will say that the file type is not allowed

Am I missing something here? I tried allowing all default media types in the Media Field instead of selecting specific ones but it doesn't change anything.
Is like the media picker behaves differently when it's inside the Bag

@DJ-Paxton can you please see if PR #15017 solves your problem?

I found the problem:

So the Bag has the Attachment type, which is a Media field.
And as you can see, I have a Header Image element, which is also a Media field. So if I edit the Header Img to only allow Images. It will also limit the types inside the Media Field in the Bag.

So I created a PdfOnly field, which is a media field that you guessed it, only allows PDFs

And as you can see the header image only allows images

And if I use the PdfOnly media picker, it will show the same files to pick (images).

If I change the order in the content definition to put the PdfOnly first it will change the behavior of the media picker as well.

So it has nothing to do with the Bag, but with two different Media Fields allowing different media types working in the same Content Definition.

Note: I tried with the first Media Field allowing all, to see if the next ones will filter the types, but all the fields will show all the types.

So to sum up, and repro the issue:

1. Create a new type with two Media Fields
   

2. Edit the Media Fields to allow different types each

3. The second Media field will allow the same types of the first one:

@ DJ-Paxton if you are using nuget packages, can you please update to the latest 1.8.1 "was released few mins ago" and see if that solved your issue?

@MikeAlhayek I updated the project, it changed the behavior but now it's working in the opposite way:

The first field is an Image field and the second is a Pdf Only, and it's showing only PDFs files on both Media fields
