Display "categories" set to attachments in Gallery detail view

Hi folks,

I’ve activated the native function of WordPress to support categories for attachements:

function taz_addCategoriesToAttachments(){
	register_taxonomy_for_object_type('category', 'attachment');
}
add_action('init', 'taz_addCategoriesToAttachments');

While browsing the Media in grid view mode, if you click an image, it opens above the grid view and displays some informations on a right column (see attached image). The “categories” field is visible on this area.

However, if I click an image from a gallery field view to expand it’s details, the “categories” field does not appear 🙁 (see attached image)

Anything I can do to have it displayed?

Thanks for your time and support.

Just did some digging around in ACF and the answer appears to be no. ACF does not include this field and there isn’t any way to add a filter to allow it. You might want to open a new support ticket here https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/new-ticket/
