Easy admin refuses entity update unless I edit image field - php

Question

I am fixing an existing Symfony 5.4 website running on PHP 8.0.18. The back office is handled by EasyAdmin 3.4.
I can't figure out what's wrong. Like the title says, when I go to edit an "Event" entity, the save buttons won't work at all unless I re-upload a different event picture. No amount of editing the other fields will work, and I can use the save buttons on other entities even if I have made no modification to the entity. I've looked though my configuration and entity setup but so far, I don't get it.
Edit: other entities with ImageField also refuse to be updated unless I've re-uploaded something. I found a temporaty fix by using setRequired(false) in the event crud conf, but an image is definitely required in this case, so I'm just setting myself up for a different kind of failure if I'm not mistaken. Is this really the only way?
Event entity:
<?php
namespace App\Entity;
use App\Repository\EventRepository;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
/**
* #ORM\Entity(repositoryClass=EventRepository::class)
*/
class Event
{
// ...
/**
* #ORM\Column(type="string", length=255)
*/
private $src;
// ...
public function getSrc(): ?string
{
return $this->src;
}
public function setSrc(string $src): self
{
$this->src = $src;
return $this;
}
// ...
}
Event crud controller:
<?php
namespace App\Controller\Admin;
use App\Entity\Event;
use App\Entity\TranslationString;
use App\Entity\TranslationText;
use EasyCorp\Bundle\EasyAdminBundle\Config\Crud;
use EasyCorp\Bundle\EasyAdminBundle\Controller\AbstractCrudController;
use EasyCorp\Bundle\EasyAdminBundle\Field\BooleanField;
use EasyCorp\Bundle\EasyAdminBundle\Field\DateField;
use EasyCorp\Bundle\EasyAdminBundle\Field\ImageField;
use EasyCorp\Bundle\EasyAdminBundle\Field\IntegerField;
use EasyCorp\Bundle\EasyAdminBundle\Field\TextField;
use EasyCorp\Bundle\EasyAdminBundle\Field\TextareaField;
class EventCrudController extends AbstractCrudController
{
public static function getEntityFqcn(): string
{
return Event::class;
}
public function configureCrud(Crud $crud): Crud
{
return $crud
->setSearchFields([
'date',
'end',
'title.fr',
'title.en',
'body.fr',
'body.en',
'alt.fr',
'alt.en',
])
->setDefaultSort(['archived' => 'ASC','date' => 'DESC',]);
}
public function configureFields(string $pageName): iterable
{
return [
DateField::new('date'),
DateField::new('end'),
TextField::new('titleFr'),
TextField::new('titleEn')->hideOnIndex(),
BooleanField::new('isShow'),
BooleanField::new('archived'),
TextareaField::new('bodyFr'),
TextareaField::new('bodyEn')->hideOnIndex(),
ImageField::new('src')
->setBasePath('img/events')
->setUploadDir('www/img/events'),
TextareaField::new('altFr')->hideOnIndex(),
TextareaField::new('altEn')->hideOnIndex(),
];
}
public function createEntity(string $Fqcn): Event
{
return (new Event)
->setAlt(new TranslationText)
->setTitle(new TranslationString)
->setBody(new TranslationText);
}
}

I had the same problem and I think that the following code will help
public function configureFields(string $pageName): iterable {
$imageField = ImageField::new('image', 'Image')->setUploadDir('public/uploads/images/')->setBasePath('uploads/images/');
if ($pageName != 'new') {
$imageField->setRequired(false);
}
return [
TextField::new('title'),
$imageField,
TextEditorField::new('description')->setNumOfRows(20),
UrlField::new('ticketOfficeLink'),
AssociationField::new('eventStates')
];
}
