Description
This ticket tracks the work for the following issue:
Media: Tracking the relationship between original images and their cropped derivatives
And PR:
Media: track the original attachment id for edited images- #81803
When Gutenberg crops an image, Core's /edit creates an entirely new attachment with no stable pointer back to the image the lineage started from.
parent_image records only the immediate source; there is no root/original reference across crop-of-crop chains.
That means we can't navigate a crop back to its original in a performant way, that is, without getting each post up the change where parent_image exists.
Media: track the original attachment id for edited images- #81803 proposes to add a dedicated postmeta key _wp_attachment_original_id stores the root id.
There's no conflict with the current "restore image" functionality in the media library, which is file-based.
