In umbraco 11 - when you replace a media file, it will change the URL to the new media file name and therefore break any hardcoded links to the original file.
expected:
User wants to update a media file
user opens media file in the media library - example: ’ Error Test Image’ in the testing folder’ in with media library. https://cms.scouts.org.uk/media/q5jlmmou/error-test-image.jpg
user ‘removes file’
user replaces image with another image
user clicks save
url for the image remains the same as before, but with the new image displaying
All uses of the image (and the URL) remain

URL for the image URL changes to the new image URL
All uses of the image (and the URL) are broken for hardcoded links
Is it possible to have the URL remain the same?
