Anyone know how to associate a caption to a image that gets uploaded into a media library field? I can get the name of the file to show up but I can’t see how to associate a caption to the image. I have the image library filed set to allow unlimited items to be uploaded to it so I can have an array of images returned when I display it in my layout builder block. I got the css to style the image array in a grid format but now I need to somehow include a related field to the image which contains the caption text. I tried creating a view but I could only get all of the images in the image library from all the nodes that had uploaded images and not just the images uploaded to a specific node that was being viewed like a contextual or relationship in the advanced section of the view form. Because the image once uploaded to the media library dose not seem to have any relationship to the node it is uploaded into that I can filter or sort on for the context connection. Has some one written or know about a contributed module that does add the caption field association to a image or for that matter any other type of media uploaded to the media library?
