API returns null for files

Question

I'm using Directus for a headless CMS. I have been uploading a file through the Directus App but the API returns null for the file field.

How can I fix this issue?

Answer 1

If you are running the latest version of Directus, apparently there is a bug that completely blows up the File field. The files get uploaded but it doesn't get linked to the field.

https://github.com/directus/api/issues/1015

It should be fixed in the next build.

Answer 2

(I can't comment due to reputation)

Are you ensuring this is an authenticated call, if you would like to make this a public call so anyone can access it (IE: A website frontend), then you might want to allow public READ access to directus_files.
