A client has just noticed that when uploading several images via a custom image field in a custom post type, they don't then appear to be available for selection via other fields. If we then view the library directly via "Media > Library", they are there, and I think also if the custom post is saved first, they are then available as normal from the post edit screen. This only happens for custom fields, not for WordPress image, galleried or featured images. This is happening on more than one site.
Hi yes sorry it's a bit tricky to describe. I'll try to describe a scenario:
We're editing a custom post, which has a repeatable custom image field in order to make a gallery
We click on the custom field to upload an image and, to save time, we upload all of the images for the rest of the gallery too. But we only select one.
We then go to add more image fields to the same post, but the images we just uploaded do not appear in the library. It looks like we have to upload them again.
Actually they are there. We can see them if we go directly to the media library or if we search for them, but they are not visible otherwise.
I don't have a solution for you, that's just how it works.
I have raised this as a usability issue with the devs. I'll let you know whether they accept that we should update the image field so that the workflow you describe can be used.
