Checkbox for Media library modal missing after search

I've noticed the same issue since upgrading to Drupal 10.1 recently.

Like @SoulReceiver, it seems very random and I'm struggling to see any pattern. For example, myself and a colleague did the exact same search on different devices and I got all the checkboxes fine whereas he found that over 50% were missing. If I refine my search further, I then see checkboxes missing on some entities that showed them fine on the original search. I've not been able to consistently recreate the finding as yet where it always does it with a search returning a single result.

The one workaround I've found so far is that the issue only seems to happen on the Grid view. When I have missing checkboxes, if I switch to the table view, the checkboxes are all present. @SoulReceiver - Don't know if you find the same? If so, could it perhaps suggest an issue with the "Media: Rendered Entity" field as that's only used on the Grid view?

Please try the MR on 🐛 Large placeholders are not processed RTBC . This sounds similar if not the same.

@catch thanks for the suggestion. I applied the patch from the merge request (https://git.drupalcode.org/project/drupal/-/merge_requests/4778/diffs.patch) but it's not had any effect on resolving this particular issue unfortunately.

You could also try 📌 Compress ajax_page_state Fixed

Thanks again @catch but the issue still remains after applying patch #91 from 📌 Compress ajax_page_state Fixed unfortunately

Could you try reverting the change from 📌 Use Mutation observer for BigPipe replacements Fixed to see whether that helps?

Ou media image selection modal is showing similar issues These issues only began upgrading from Drupal 9 to Drupal 10.1. They were initially hard for use to reproduce but we have observed these patterns:

1. Our issues seem only to occur on CHECKBOXES in the GRID view (the TABLE view checkboxes seem to still work fine)
2. Our issues seems only to occur after FILTERING the GRID view (from AtoZ, etc).
3. One issue observed is that after an editor selects an GRID view IMAGE's CHECKBOX, upon clicking INSERT SELECTED image button a different IMAGE (usually that image is only a few image away in the GRID view) is inserted. It's as if the GRID view had not successfully updated the checkbox indexes or IDs or what not upon FILTERING.
4. The other issue we see is the same as this post's original one. After filtering in the GRID view some IMAGE will have no CHECKBOX for selection at all.

Just logging these observations here. I'll post more info when we get more clarity.

For some reason updating the view mode for the custom media type thumbnail improved the issue for me, we had it to show the original image in the media library grid and now I updated it to show the 200x200 thumbnail and I can't seem to see the checkbox issue anymore, the wrong image selection is harder to replicate, but I haven't been able to test it in prod which it's easier to replicate, but overall this is blocking us to be able to add some images on the site

I confirm having this issue

Feels that this is not one issue, maybe 2 or more issues in one case setup or after an update for Drupal 10 core

When I fill in the "Name" filter field with
And I press the "Apply filters" button

After that hit of AJAX for filters

I'm able to reproduce the issue of selecting one media item ( type of media image )
and getting another one in the filed.

Only

Having a media library select form order checkbox as 23 for example with value for the media id 905

Before the AJAX filter

• name="media_library_select_form[23]"
• value="905"

<input data-drupal-selector="edit-media-library-select-form-23" type="checkbox" id="edit-media-library-select-form-23--R90go40dnks" name="media_library_select_form[23]" value="905" class="form-checkbox form-boolean form-boolean--type-checkbox" data-once="media-library-click-to-select media-item-change">

After the AJAx filter

• name="media_library_select_form[23]"
• value="897"

<input data-drupal-selector="edit-media-library-select-form-23" type="checkbox" id="edit-media-library-select-form-23--z_RRpXFgoaA" name="media_library_select_form[23]" value="897" class="form-checkbox form-boolean form-boolean--type-checkbox" data-once="media-library-click-to-select media-item-change">

Hitting this issue when Aggregate JavaScript files is ON
When aggregation for js is off it has the default right behavior

Still when changing the number of Items filter to show more or less

When Allowing for Mini pager options has "Allow user to control the number of items displayed in this view"

The Sort criteria for Sort by is not showing up
find out that old configs has an empty identifier for the name sort criteria too

Sort field identifier ( name )

Sort field identifier ( name_1 )

Find out that both of them were empty

Maybe this issue is about when having an old config for Drupal 9 been upgraded to Drupal 10
or used as it was in the old config sync

Having this problem with Drupal 10.1.6 and the Media Library widget. Turning off caching for the widget and widget_table in the Media Library view makes the widget usable.

I think the issue is related to caching, lazy building and pagination. Each paged record set in the filter builds the checkbox placeholders in PreRenderViewsForm method of the ViewsFormMainForm class from a 0 index resulting in search array looking like this

array:4 [▼
  0 => "<!--form-item-media_library_select_form--0-->"
  1 => "<!--form-item-media_library_select_form--1-->"
  2 => "<!--form-item-media_library_select_form--2-->"
  3 => "<!--form-item-media_library_select_form--3-->"
]

If Media items are returned from the cache having been on a page where the placeholder key is different then the rendered checkbox will return the wrong media item when selected.

If the placeholder key is beyond the range of the current result, then no substitution takes place and no checkbox is rendered. The following values returned for a 4 media items result in only one checkbox being rendered (the one with the key of 3).

<!--form-item-media_library_select_form--3-->
<!--form-item-media_library_select_form--4-->
<!--form-item-media_library_select_form--5-->
<!--form-item-media_library_select_form--7-->

Hopefully this gives a bit more insight into the issue.

Same here with Drupal 10.1.4.
Media library works by turning off the cache on the views displays.

A few interesting notes:

• This issue only seems to appear in Chrome based browsers (e.g. Edge), but not Firefox
• For us it only appears in the media library grid widget, and only after entering a term in the search box
• It affects both items not being able to be selected, but also when selecting any item a wrong item can be selected
• As suggested in #22 and #23, disabling the cache on the media library widget view (/admin/structure/views/view/media_library/edit/widget), seems to resolve the issue (we've only disabled it on the grid widget, not the other displays)

#22 looks like good analysis, bumping to major.

regarding #24

As suggested in #22 and #23, disabling the cache on the media library widget view (/admin/structure/views/view/media_library/edit/widget), seems to resolve the issue (we've only disabled it on the grid widget, not the other displays)

After saving the view configuration, I've observed one thing. I don't know, if this makes any difference. I also only unset caching for the "widget" display, but the config for the other displays slightly changed too. The previously empty "tags" setting got filled with dependencies to different media EVD configurations. I do not believe that this has anything to do with the problem here, but I may be wrong... this part has changed (of course it'll differ from site to site, depending on what media bundles and view modes you have)

      tags:
        - 'config:core.entity_view_display.media.document.default'
        - 'config:core.entity_view_display.media.document.media_library'
        - 'config:core.entity_view_display.media.image.banner'
        - 'config:core.entity_view_display.media.image.default'
        - 'config:core.entity_view_display.media.image.gallery'
        - 'config:core.entity_view_display.media.image.hero'
        - 'config:core.entity_view_display.media.image.media_library'
        - 'config:core.entity_view_display.media.remote_video.default'
        - 'config:core.entity_view_display.media.remote_video.media_library'
        - 'config:core.entity_view_display.media.video.banner'
        - 'config:core.entity_view_display.media.video.default'
        - 'config:core.entity_view_display.media.video.hero'
        - 'config:core.entity_view_display.media.video.media_library'

The buildForm method of the ViewsFormMainForm class looks for 2 methods on the MediaLibrarySelectForm field that don't exist so defaults to building the placeholders from the row index. The methods appear to be legacy code as the methods are snake case?

The getValue method and the viewsForm method on the MediaLibrarySelectForm field both use the ResultRow $row->index value where I think the $row->mid value might be more appropriate.

Adding the following methods to the MediaLibrarySelectForm class and updating the getValue and viewsForm methods to use the entity mid appears to fix the issue; but I'm not familiar enough with the core code to know if there are further implications in making these changes.

Add new methods to MediaLibrarySelectForm:

  public function form_element_name() {
    return $this->field;
  }

  public function form_element_row_id($row_id) {
    return $this->view->result[$row_id]->mid;
  }

Refactor MediaLibrarySelectForm::getValue to use $row->mid

 public function getValue(ResultRow $row, $field = NULL) {
    return '<!--form-item-' . $this->options['id'] . '--' . $row->mid . '-->';
  }

Refactor MediaLibrarySelectForm::viewsForm to use $row->mid if views field is a media entity

    foreach ($this->view->result as $row_index => $row) {
      $entity = $this->getEntity($row);
      if (!$entity) {
        $form[$this->options['id']][$row_index] = [];
        continue;
      }
      $form[$this->options['id']][$row->mid] = [
        '#type' => 'checkbox',
        '#title' => $this->t('Select @label', [
          '@label' => $entity->label(),
        ]),
        '#title_display' => 'invisible',
        '#return_value' => $entity->id(),
      ];
    }

@simonp98 those changes don't look like they would break anything else, or if they do, hopefully we'll find out via test coverage - and they make sense to me. Could you put then into a merge request on this issue?

Added 2 new methods to the MediaLibrarySelectForm class and updated the getValue and viewsForm methods to use the entity mid. See comment #27.

The issue summary is missing some sections, added the standard template and left the sections TODO or TBD, if not needed just add NA.

New functions should be typehinted with the return.

Adding new functions to the form believe warrants a change record.

Think the last piece if the CR.

Tweaked the CR some

Refactor MediaLibrarySelectForm::viewsForm to use $row->mid if views field is a media entity

From the proposed solution looks like this part is still needed.

https://git.drupalcode.org/project/drupal/-/merge_requests/5619/diffs#6a... that's here isn't it?

My mistake not sure how that didn't show.

But following the steps in the issue summary was able to replicate the issue.
MR does seem to fix the issue

Ran test only feature https://git.drupalcode.org/issue/drupal-3388913/-/jobs/446159 and got several failures, which I feel shows the coverage.

Marking but not sure if new functions require submaintainer approval.

I'm triaging RTBC issues → . I read the IS, the comments, the MR and the change record. I didn't find any unanswered questions.

The change record should explain why someone would want to use the new methods and how to use them. And it should be written so it is understandable for anyone where English is not there first language. It should certainly not begin with the Problem statement from the issue summary. There is a link to the issue if someone wants to read more detail. I suggest searching the change records for high quality examples to help improve the change record for this issue.

Setting to NW for change record updates.

It's great to see all the work that's been done to resolve this as it's really been annoying our users getting the wrong image selected.

Looks like it's nearly at the finish line so I'm crossing my fingers it will make it into 10.2.2! Thanks!

Improved change record.

CR appears to have been updated, got lots of details now. Restoring status.

Thanks for fixing this issue.
I needed this fix for D10.1.8 so I have re-rolled it as patch.

Changing back to 11.x

Don't want the test bot to pick up the patch.

@smustgrave - sure thanks :)

This is failing spell check. Adding tag for a reroll.

How do I determine if this is actually a spelling error? The logs report the following and this code has previously passed all tests.

/scripts-124688-721749/step_script: line 277: /usr/bin/tr: Argument list too long

/scripts-124688-721749/step_script: line 277: /usr/bin/yarn: Argument list too long

It just needs a rebase - the spelling check fails when the MR branch falls too far behind the target branch - there's an issue open, but until then a rebase works. Even if the spelling check wasn't failing, the MR can't be rebased with a fast forwards any more.

Committed/pushed to 11.x and cherry-picked to 10.3.x, thanks! There's enough changes here I'm not sure about backporting to 10.2.x, so leaving fixed against 10.3.x for now.

Thanks for the improvements to the change records but it still needs work, The notice is a summary of the change and should focus on what someone should do to change existing code. If no change is needed then that should be stated. The notice should also mention when to use the new methods. The copy/paste of codes blocks should be removed.

The form is a views plugin, which is internal, and doesn't need a change record, and no code should have to deal with the change. I've gone ahead and deleted it.

Automatically closed - issue fixed for 2 weeks with no activity.

Updated the issue summary to state the cause of the issue.

Deactivating the caching in the view worked for me. Thanks!

I don't know if there are other media type modules that have remote entities, but this issue fundamentally breaks that premise by requiring a media id. See https://www.drupal.org/project/acquia_dam/issues/3442662 🐛 Incompatible with Drupal 10.3 and higher Needs work

For Acquia DAM we're working on a fix, but while its believed this change is internal, I 'think' (??) its expected modules can extend the view to include their media entities. Regardless, I'm leaving a comment here on the chance someone will run into this when updating to 10.3. It'd be nice if there was a BC shim in 10.3 so existing media modules could work.

FYI, This issue is still existing with D10.2.6 using USWDS theme, Is there any update or patch that is available.
