Duplicate media entities are created when selecting the same DAM asset via Media Entity Browser

Open on Drupal.org →
Created on 7 August 2025, about 18 hours ago

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Configure an Entity Browser using the acquia_dam_browser plugin.
  1. Create a Media Type integrated with Acquia DAM.
  1. Open the media field using the entity browser and select an asset.
  1. Save the content.
  1. Repeat the process and select the same asset again.

Expected behavior:

  • The existing media entity referencing the DAM asset should be reused.

Actual behavior:

  • A new media entity is created, resulting in duplicates for the same DAM asset.

Impact:

  • Leads to cluttered media library.
  • Affects content consistency and increases storage unnecessarily.

Proposed solution:

Enhance the browser plugin or media creation logic to check if a media entity for the selected DAM asset already exists.

If it does, reuse that entity instead of creating a new one.

Environment:

Drupal 10.x
