Media alt text not available in Views

When creating a view of (core) media entities, you'd expect the alt text to be available as a field. However it's not.

Not sure if I'm missing something, but simply can't find it.

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.

    On Drupal 10, I was able to add both a field for the Alt text using the approach in #3, as well as an exposed filter using a grouped dropdown of the "Image (alt)" field using different potential values in the dropdown:

    • Empty
    • NULL (has a special meaning in the database, but essentially the same as "Empty").
    • Possibly too short (alt text less than 10 characters long).
    • Possibly too long (alt text more than 100 characters long).

    Yeah this is indeed uncool and would be very helpful. I didn't expect that... quite sure we had it in Drupal 7.
