image upload UI for new items is misleading #1834

While entering new products into the inventory, one of the volunteers mentioned that the image upload UI was misleading. Specifically, it isn't clear how the "delete current image" checkbox works if you're adding a new image. If that box is checked, then the item will be created with no image, even if you also uploaded a new image.

This is relevant when duplicating an existing item. The volunteer thought he needed to both delete the current image (from the original item) and upload a new image for the new item. He interpreted "delete current image" as deleting the image associated with the original item. But you actually just need to upload a new image file and leave the box unchecked--the new image will replace the original image.

Steps to reproduce

In the librarian view:

  • Duplicate an existing item
  • Upload a new image file with the "Choose File" button and check the "Delete current image" box
  • Click "Create Item"

Then the item will be created with no image.

How to fix

I'm not sure what the best design would be. I'll leave it to whoever picks up the issue to come up with something more intuitive than the current design.
