RM adding title field to images fields with custom fields

[snck]

Today I noticed something strange on a client website (in dev). I have three image fields (e.g. images) that use custom fields to add a field (called image_credit). Somehow RockMigrations ins adding the title (PageTitle) field on every modules refresh to these templates (e.g. field-images) although I have no migrations in place for these fields. I cannot find any hint in the logs as well. Whenever I manually delete the field in the GUI and do a modules refresh, the field is added again. Disabling RockMigrations ($config->noMigrate = true) stops this behavior, but does of course not solve my problem.

@bernhard, were there any recent changes that could be causing this? I am on RM 6.8.1.

Any help is appreciated! 🙂

Can not think of any.

Could you please try to reproduce this issue on a fresh installation and then provide the exact steps to reproduce it? Thx!

Hey @bernhard,

I did some further research and at least came up with a workaround. As title is a global field, I added the following config migration:

<?php

// site/RockMigrations/templates/field-images.php

return [
  'fields' => [
    'image_credit' => [],
  ],
  'noGlobal' => 1, // prevent global fields like title from being added to the template during migrations
];

After manually removing the title field from field-images in the GUI this prevents RM from automatically adding it.

Great, yeah sounds like a good solution. The title field is often special with its global flag so this is very good to have as a reference, thx for sharing!
