Related Content resources not available to use until after object saved and re-edited
Description
In a content type you can add a related content (e.g. image/file etc) item using the library picker, however if you then go to the body text (for example), and try to add the resource using the related content button, the resources do not appear.
The resources only appear after you save the content item, and go back in to re-edit it.
Discussion from board here on why this may be:
