Comments.Text: I know that's the old question, but I have a problem with uploading gifs. I mean, if I want to upload it directly to the assets, there is no problem, but if I want to upload this while creating entries, I got this message: Upload failed. The error message was: “The file “/app/storage/runtime/temp/name.gif” does not appear to be an image.”
