Settings - fields not showing up in Matrix

Hello,

I upgraded to Bigtree 4.4 and noticed an issue using a Matrix in Settings with the extensions Link finder and Media Gallery not showing up.

If I add a new column in Developer > Settings > Type(Matrix) > Add Column > Custom(Link Finder or Media Gallery) > Save > Update. Then when I go back into Field Settings, the field I just created is not showing up.
Or after I upgraded to 4.4, those two do not show up either if they were already in there.

In settings.json, the column was created.

"id": "test",
        "name": "test link",
        "description": "",
        "type": "matrix",
        "settings": {
            "style": "list",
            "columns": [
                {
                    "type": "text"
                },
                {
                    "type": "com.fastspot.link-finder-field-type*link-finder",
                    "id": "test",
                    "title": "test"
                }
            ]
        },
        "locked": "",
        "system": "",
        "encrypted": "",
        "extension": null

Re: Settings - fields not showing up in Matrix

It looks like editing field settings for a setting is broken in 4.4 (for any field type). I'll get this fixed and released in 4.4.1 this week. Thanks for the bug report!

Also a tip: Link Finder is now the core "Link" field in 4.4 and Media Gallery is also a core field -- I'd recommend moving to use those core field types as the extensions won't be updated in the future.

Re: Settings - fields not showing up in Matrix

Thanks Tim! We will move to the core fields instead of the extensions.
