 * Hello,
 * We are using a “File / Image / Video” field type for creating tour gallery on
   the website.
    It was working fine before update the plugin, when we updated this
   plugin, it is displaying a text box at the place of “File Upload” field on the
   post screen and displaying only attachment ids in this, we cannot able to add
   or update this field value. We have checked this field type at the back office
   and DataBase and it is displaying and saved with File field type, please check
   screenshot on this “[Screenshot](https://we.tl/t-ptHSPI45Nu)” link. We try to
   debug our end in your plugin and check this “Find” function which is exist the“
   Post_Type.php” file, in this function first time we are geeting a valid object
   with file type value but second time it is returning the text type.
 * Check below json script which is displaying with this field.
 * {“htmlAttr”:{“id”:”pods-form-ui-pods-meta-tour-gallery”,”class”:”pods-form-ui-
   field pods-form-ui-field-type-text pods-form-ui-field-name-pods-meta-tour-gallery”,”

 * We have lots of entries on the our website so, we can not create a new field 
   for this, kindly check this issue and provide relevant solutions for this.
 * Thanks

 * The screenshot isn’t loading here; a Pods package export would be helpful in 
   reproducing the issue.
 * See [https://support.pods.io/chat/](https://support.pods.io/chat/) or [https://pods.io/submit](https://pods.io/submit)
   for ways to send a bug report that both support screenshots and package exports.

 * I have the same issue. I haven’t been able to update since 2.8.4. Has anything
   been worked out here?

 * Hi [@sanjaybhardwaj90](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sanjaybhardwaj90/)
   and [@nixonnotes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nixonnotes/)
 * I tried to reproduce this issue but I cannot,
    What settings are you using for
   the gallery/image/file field?
 * Cheers, Jory

 * It happens in all scenarios of settings. Most common one I use is Single File,
   Upload/select, restrict files to jp,pjeg, png, gif, List Style: Rows, and some
   css in the advanced tab.
 * I saw a similar issue report on github (#6326) and noticed that the website was
   in Spanish. Similarly, the only website I have this issue with is in Spanish.
   I use Pods on several sites. I’d be interested to know the language on [@sanjaybhardwaj90](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sanjaybhardwaj90/)
   website.

 * Hello Paul Clark,
 * Thank you for your response.
 * We have debug the issue and found that issue generated due to this “pods_group_add”
   function.
    We were passing file type field name within this function for seperate
   meta box and this function was changing that field type from file to text format
   and displaying text field at the back office. Now, we have comment our our code
   and it is working fine.
 * [@jessie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jessie/) Bee, we are using the 
   English language on the our website.

 * I’d like to know what you added to the function to make it work. I am using the
   pods_group_add also.
