[Image + Teaser] Don't require ALT text if no asset selected #2523
Comments

Related: Currently is "Image is decorative" is checked, Core Image still looks at the alt text field and flags an error if "Get alternative text from DAM" is checked and field is empty. Expected behavior is that "Image is decorative" should take precedent over "Get alt from dam", that is after all why the option was chosen. |

@tim-white-esri , i experience this as well. IMO, the only time alt-text validation should be performed is when an image exists (regardless of where the image comes from) AND the "image is decorative" checkbox is unchecked. |

Screen shot of Core Image v2 with Image is Decorative checked. Should NOT be an error for Metadata.

Looks like this is related to #2254 |
Bug Report
Current Behavior
When editing an image component, if no image is provided, or the image component inherits the page image and no such image is configured, the dialog still requires an alt text to be specified. This encourages users to either add a blank/garbage alt text to allow the dialog to save, or to set the image as decorative - which may not be appropriate.
This may seem trivial in image components, because there is no good reason to add an image component without an image; however, the image dialog is also used in other components - such as the Teaser component - where an image is often not provided, which is an entirely valid use case for a teaser.
In this situation, the dialog is difficult to work with because the user should not have to play with alt text settings in a teaser with no image.
Expected behavior/code
The alt text should only be a required field if an image asset is configured.
Environment
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
