Hello, I`ve made an article custom field and I use JCE FILE BROWSER, at extended media option I set the value YES.
My question is how to remove width and height from settings, and how to set up by default Type to be a LINK, and how to set up by default Target to be OPEN IN NEW WINDOW, like screenshot?

The Width, Height, Type and Target options are part of the Extended Media options which you can enable or disable in the Field options when creating or editing the field. You can only have alle the options or none of them.

A default Target value can be set in the Media Field options when you create the field.

Dear friend, see my video on a lin below.
VIDEO
A default Target value can be set in the Media Field options when you create the field.

It does not work even I`ve choosen target in a new link in custom filed and Extended Media option is yes.
Tell me please is there any option to fix it by default the option TYPE to be LINK, not embed
and the option TARGET to be choosen by default - OPEN IN NEW WINDOW.
THE OTHER TWO OPTION WIDTH AND HEIGHT I CAN HIDE WITH CSS.
At least I saw an sql problem when I change the option YES or NO in Extended Media on an article custom field, when the content is published yet!
Thanks!

In the Media Field options, when creating or updating the field, set the Extended Media option to No. All files that are not images will then be links only.

Set the Target to Open in New Window.

Did I understand right?
If I choose Extended Media to option - Yes, there is no way to basic settings.
If I choose Extended Media to option - No, I can set up from created field.
If that is true, I would like to suggest in future to add extra options to manage when i select YES in "Extended Media"
or
If I select option NO in "Extended Media" it is nessary a Description field, because I don't have the option to change the file name - 1_filename.pdf

When I choose Extended Media option to No and use in subform only, there is no attached files in article, too.
That's why I have to use Extended Media option to YES when I use the field in subform only.
Everything works good, if I use Extended Media option to No whitout subform only!

Thank you for fixing the problem with displaying the field in the non-expanded version. Tell me how to specify that in the extended version the Type value should default to always LINK, not embed?

There is no option for this. The Extended option is for embedding media. To use links only, set the Extended Media option to No.

OK, I'll use the No option, but I'd like to be able to name the link rather than showing the file name - for example 1_Instruction_version2.pdf. When I use Extended Media option to No, there is no option to edit the link name!
Would you be so kind as to add a link name edit option in one of your next releases?

Hi, could you please tell me if you can add an edit field to the attachment name then when the non-expanded media option is used?
Питам ви пак, защото ми е много, много важно, благодаря!
