Set focal point for a media reference image within a node?

Hi - I'm not sure if this is a bug, feature request, or support request because I just don't understand how to set it up.

What I'm trying to accomplish: allow a user to set the focal point in the edit form on an image field in an entity (e.g. Article) that's a Media (Image) Reference using Media Library and not a "traditional" image upload field.

The problem: the Image (Focal Point) widget is available only on the Media entity, not on the Article entity. For the field in the Article, we need to use Media Library as the widget in the "manage form display" setting. So a user would have to edit the Media entity itself for that image to be able to set the focal point; it can't be done directly in the node edit form for that field in the Article content type.

I can set the widget of the Media Library form display of the Media/Image entity to use Focal Point, but the Focal Point cursor doesn't show up when choosing an image on the Article edit form using Media Library.

Is that last point supposed to be the solution and there's just a bug with that? Or am I setting this up improperly?

Thanks in advance.

I’m facing the same issue as @michaelschutz. I would like to be able to choose the focal point on a media while editing a node. I was able to do this before, but I'm not sure which update changed it.

You can set the focal point not only when adding an image to the library (media/add/image), but also when editing.
Not in the usual content edit form, but from the pencil that appears at the top right when the article with your images is displayed. It's not ideal, but it is an alternative.

But if you editing the media, you change it on all its usage
