Page type & Page defaults: Image page attribute upload fails, then error thrown

Permalink
"Unable to load block into composer. You must edit this content from within the context of the page."

That is the error. Here's what happens. I have added this image page attribute to my this page type. Sometimes it works fine, but often the upload fails, and then a small popup with red background and some json content pop up (too bad I didn't copy the error, will update later probably). After dismissing of the error, everything is seemingly OK, I can re-attempt image upload. It seemingly uploads but then, when Composer is closed and the page is displayed - the attribute content (image) is not there. Returning to the composer, in the place of attribute, I see this error. I go back to the page, enter edit mode but this attribute block is nowhere to find at all.

I delete the page and start over. Very very inconvenient.
