ACF fields assigned to show on attachments, Media (Edit) but not on (Upload)

Is there a way to allow ACF fields to appear as a part of the Media Upload flow in the same way that they can appear for images already in the Media Library. This would be very helpful since it would give users access to custom fields earlier.

I have attached 2 screen shots one of an image selected that was previously uploaded and saved and another of the initial image upload. The images show the differences in the fields available in the attachment details panel.

The attachment_fields_to_edit method in the acf_everything_fields class doesn’t add custom fields if $screen is not empty.

if( !empty($screen) )
{
	return $form_fields;
}

After uploading a file the attachment_fields_to_edit method is called but WordPress returns a WP_screen object for get_current_screen(). The screen object has an id of ‘async-upload’. I think ACF should probably continue (i.e. add the custom fields that have been configured) for this screen

Replace

if( !empty($screen) )
{
	return $form_fields;
}

with

if( !empty($screen) && $screen->id != 'async-upload' )
{
	return $form_fields;
}

Also; would this be possible to display the fields on Bulk Edit screens?
