Bug #59972
Updated by Markus Klein almost 10 years ago
Some fields in the sys_file_reference table currently are configured to behave as "mergeIfNotBlank" but this behavior is not respected in the Frontend. (and would not make sense there either).
Imagine this: You have a file and its metadata is translated in English and German.
Now you override the German translation in the file reference.
You probably do not want to use the german override for the English version. But you might want to remove the English description. The rendering in the Frontend currently behaves exactly like this. This is why the "mergeIfNotBlank" setting should be removed from the TCA to prevent confusion.
