Describe the bug

In short: When editing a DCE directly from the File Manager / Dateiliste. Links are not updating.

In our case, we have a simple Download list module (Repeating DCE List with a Name & Link Flexform). A client wants to update his old download files for new ones. So he went into the file manager, and looked at which DCE modules reference the old download files. He then opens one of the DCE Download Modules referencing the file. Which opens neatly in a frame. He starts changing the links, but after selecting a new file the link input never updates, and the old file never updates. This is an issue only with the Typolink configuration.

I found out that when opening the module directly on for example the downloads page. The links are being updated just fine. So this is a problem with the view from File Manager. I tested this scenario in another project, and could confirm the same behaviour.
