Screenshots broken when unused files set to temporary

Open on Drupal.org →
Created on 1 April 2025, 2 months ago

Problem/Motivation

As per https://www.drupal.org/node/2891902 → there is an option to maintain legacy Drupal behavior that automatically sets unused files to temporary and deletes them on cron by setting $config['file.settings']['make_unused_managed_files_temporary'] = TRUE; With this setting, trying to save a screenshot using website_feedback results in the following error:
"The file used in the Screenshot field may not be referenced."

Steps to reproduce

  • Install a vanilla Drupal 10 or 11 site.
  • Install website_feedback, and configure to allow screenshots
  • Add the line to settings.php: $config['file.settings']['make_unused_managed_files_temporary'] = TRUE;
  • Attempt to save feedback with a screenshot

Proposed resolution

Manually add a usage to the usage table after saving the screenshot before submitting the feedback form so that the file may be referenced.
