Roadmap Ticket Validation Error When Adding Image in Description - WPFolks — A community for the people who build on WordPress

When users add an image by copy/pest inside the description field while creating a roadmap ticket, the ticket submission fails and displays the validation error: “Please fill in the title, description, and type.”

Even though all required fields are filled correctly, the system is not recognizing the description field properly after an image is added. This issue needs to be fixed so users can successfully create roadmap tickets with images in the description.

Shipped.

Root cause: pasting a screenshot inlined it as a giant base64 data URI, which often exceeded the server’s post-size limit. When that happened PHP received an empty form and the validation fell back to the misleading “fill in title, description, type” error.

What changed:
. Pasted and dropped images are now blocked at the editor with a clear notice explaining the workflow.
. The server now distinguishes a real “missing fields” submit from a too-large one and shows the right message.

Workflow for now: paste an image URL (Imgur, Dropbox, or your own host) instead of the image itself. Proper drag-and-drop upload to the media library is parked as a follow-up since it needs storage, moderation, and cleanup logic of its own.

Thanks for the report. Marking this shipped.
