Fix Autosave Form Settings to Exclude Media Bundles from Allowed Content Entity Types and Focal Points

Open on Drupal.org →
Created on 19 April 2025, 6 days ago

Problem/Motivation

Currently, autosave form settings incorrectly apply to media bundles, which are not intended content entity types for autosave behavior. This leads to unintended behavior and potential performance issues, especially with media focal point fields.

Steps to reproduce

Facing a failed automated functional testing scenario

  @javascript @local @development @staging @production
  Scenario: Check if we do have a file named Flag Earth, if not then upload the file dependently
     When I go to "/media/add/image"
      And wait
     Then I should see "Allowed types: png gif jpg jpeg webp."
     When I attach the file "flag-earth.jpg" to "edit-field-media-image-0-upload"
      And wait
      And I press the "Save" button
      And wait 2s
     Then I should see "Alternative text"
     Then I should see "Title"
     When I fill in "Flag Earth in space" for "field_media_image[0][alt]"
      And I fill in "Flag Earth all earth in space" for "field_media_image[0][title]"
      And I fill in "Flag Earth" for "name[0][value]"
      And I check the box "Show in media library"
      And I press the "Save" button
      And wait
     Then I should see "Flag Earth"
      And wait
     When I go to "admin/content/media"
     Then I should see "Add media"
      And I should see the "Edit" in the "Flag Earth" row

Proposed resolution

Remove media bundles from allowed content entity types for auto-saving.
Update autosave form settings to exclude media bundles from the list of allowed content entity types and skip focal point fields, ensuring the autosave functionality only targets relevant content types.
