I am trying to:
Submit a post form that contains a blank cred field type='image' where the field is not required.

I expected to see:
From submit cleanly

Instead, I got:
Validation error, "You can only upload an image file"

I noticed this on a custom field, I check the field it not required. I tried a generic field on the same form, same issue. I tried a generic field on a different form, same issue.

I assume this is not expected behavior.

This was discovered internally just recently, and you are the first client to spot the problem.

We should be able to provide a fix in a hotfix which is expected in roughly a couple of weeks.

Please see this erratum for more details: https://toolset.com/errata/validation-error-if-image-field-is-blank-when-not-using-wp-media-uploader/

If you subscribe to that you'll get a notification when it is fixed.

Thank you! That answers my question about "Taxonomy checkbox labels in a form toggle the wrong checkbox" too.
