Drupal 9... I have a content type of "Resource" which uses a field "download" which references the media type "document", but when I upload a file to the field, it gives me no opportunity to enter a description for the newly uploaded file.

Resource content type Field_download (entity reference to Media Type = Document)

Media Type: Document

  • field_description (text -- required)

  • field_media_document (file -- required -- enabled description field)

1 - New Resource content type… upload the media file

enter image description here

2 - the media upload box appears

enter image description here

3 - Selected the file I want to upload - it is here that I want to enter the file's description. The help text even says "Fill in any required fields and save..." but no required field appears.

enter image description here

4 - Insert the media, now that it has been uploaded

enter image description here

5 - The new "Resource" node shows the new file, but still no opportunity to enter description

enter image description here

I had this same issue and found the solution:

If you want to be able to add a new file with a description using Media library then visit /admin/structure/media/manage/document/form-display/media_library and enable the "Document" field.
