MediaPicker3 does not allow selection of media type during upload

Version used: Umbraco 14.1.1

Summary

When using the upload button through Media Picker 3, it does not allow you to select the media type to be use and just uploads it directly and ends-up as file type. Is there a way, to configure the default media type to be use?

Steps to reproduce:

  • update Video media type and add mp4 as accepted file extension
  • create a new document type and add a video field and use media picker as property editor
  • add the newly created document type as allowed content in the root
  • in the content section, create a new content using the new document type
  • click to Video field and upload an mp4 file

Expected result

I expect that the upload will allow me to select media type to be use for the file being uploaded

Actual result

File gets uploaded as File type and cannot be selected as a value for the field
