access level warning message in File edit view was created by manchine

When opening a file in edit view, a strange warning message is showing:

Access level: 0 is not valid. Setting Access level to 'Public'. Please select a new access level and save the record.

It is still possible to save the record. However, I'd like to know where the '0' access level value comes from.

FLEXIcontent is Free but involves a very big effort on our part.
Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite being huge extension) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?

Hello

This is not a bug, it is just a notification that :
- the file has a non-existing access level

Select a valid access level and save the form

----
It would be a bug only if :
you have added the file --recently-- and you added it with a valid access level e.g. public
and the access level was lost,

otherwise as said above , select an existing access level and save the form

Hmmmm... Bug or no bug, the fact that 0 is showing up in the Access Level select list is definitely weird.

Hello

it is much better than ... the file just not showing in frontend without any warning because of bad access level

It still remains to be explained why the error happens, even if not functionality is affected at this point.
Up until 3.1.1, the warning message and the mysterious access level 0 did not show up.

Exactly, it was added by v3.1.1, and it is intentional for the reasons explained previously

If newly created files do not have access level zero, then were are good here

As I've mentioned in an earlier post, the *existing* files where the warning message is showing already had the access level correctly set to Public.
I still think that the behaviour described in my opening post is not supposed to happen.

The message was added because the file was not showing in frontend and users could not understand why it is not showing

The reason that file has this access level ?
Maybe because of upgrade from J1.5 or because of older FLEXIcontent bug that saved it with access level ZERO
