Storymaps embed options do not work

Question

I've been using the Embed media item to add pdf's to a storymap. However, after adding the content and clicking on the cog/settings icon to open the Embed options, I am unable to save any changes to the embed options. The save button is greyed out. Is this expected behaviour?

We're looking at some improvements to how PDFs work are are displayed in StoryMaps. We hope to release these sometime in the next two months.

Hi,
I raised this as a support case with ESRI and it was logged as BUG-000142336.

The workaround identified was:

Publish PDF and Story map for Public use
Copy URL
Add Embedded Content
Select Card and scroll to Custom Card Details towards the bottom - toggle on
Enter text into the Title box - the save option should now be shown as available
Scroll up and Toggle on Image
Upload Image and click Save
Publish Story map and view on small screen

I think I am experiencing the same issue. The embedded content works fine but when I try to set the "Alternative image for small screens", it won't let me save the image I try to upload.

Did you find a solution?

Thanks,
