Problem/Motivation

I have been getting the following error when trying to edit the image properties of the image uploaded using the Ckeditor.

The file used in the Image field may not be referenced.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Added the IMCE File Manager widget in 'Text formats and editors' > 'Full HTML' active toolbar.
  2. Enabled Filters - Align images, Caption images, Correct faulty and chopped off HTML, and Track images uploaded via a Text Editor.
  3. Uploaded an image using the widget and opened the image properties popup and on saving any changes, I get the above mentioned error.

Drupal Version : 9.1.9
IMCE Version : 8.x-2.4

Kindly note that the image after upload is being managed.

Any help with the same is much appreciated.

    Using 3.0.7 and still running into this issue.

    • I have NO filters enabled.
    • This only happens when uploading a new file through IMCE, it works fine when using a file that was already on the server..
    • Searching for the error message, this seems to be coming from the drupal core ManagedFile element not having a content association.
      • It seems that this happens when a file is uploaded for permanent storage but not associated with a particular node or piece of content.
      • I see in modules/contrib/imce/src/ImcdFileField.php (line 137) that the image is getting an association, however in src/Plugin/IMCEPlugin/Upload.php (line 80) it is not getting an association.
      • NOTE: I have no idea if this is the cause, a clue to the cause or a red herring.
