Media link format changed to 'Custom URL' from ' Media File' since 4.4

[hughie.molloy]

The $attachment variable set on line 2553 of ajax-actions.php in the function wp_ajax_send_attachment_to_editor() no longer has an index 'url'. This means that the $url being feed through to the hooks later on is an empty string.

This was not the case in WP 4.3.1

Hi @hughie.molloy, thanks for the report.

I can't seem to reproduce your issue, the 'url' value is being passed through just fine for me. Would it be possible for you to share the code you're using that demonstrates the problem?

Looking at media-editor.js, the url value is only passed if props.linkUrl​ is set, but it's been that way since [22835].

Having backtracked this issue after updating we had two cases where media had link set to 'custom URL' which was blank thus the empty URL being passed through. I am not sure how the link format was changed originally. I do not feel it was change through the UI as I tested this originally on my own local version of WP. However, I have tested this on a third install of 4.3.1 being updated to 4.4 and I could not reproduce. Feel free to close the ticket.
