Acquia DAM 1.1.19 Adds Standalone Asset Picker and Site Studio Asset-Usage Detector

Drupal sites using Acquia DAM have new options for selecting and identifying digital assets following the release of Acquia DAM 1.1.19 on 14 October 2026. The update introduces a standalone asset picker and an asset-usage detector for Site Studio, alongside improvements to focal-point handling and metadata field support in the Asset Library.

The release extends the Acquia DAM integration module, which connects Drupal with Acquia's digital asset management service. The standalone picker introduces a new AcquiaDamStandaloneOpener, while changes to the media-add controller allow the module to override the media-add route. The release notes identify these implementation changes but don't explain how they affect existing editorial workflows.

Site Studio integration gains an asset-usage detector intended to identify DAM assets used within Site Studio components. The update also adds support for metadata fields in the Asset Library and addresses focal-point settings and embedded image cropping when switching delivery modes. Changes to DAM media editing forms restrict modifications to mapped metadata fields.

Additional fixes include removing hardcoded asset type identifiers, introducing a fullscreen AJAX progress indicator when inserting DAM media, and addressing cached empty responses following asset API errors. The release resolves 12 issues, with Rajeshreeputra and rckstr_rohan listed as contributors.

Acquia DAM 1.1.19 supports Drupal 9.5, 10 and 11. Drupal 12 compatibility is not listed in the release information. Developers maintaining Acquia DAM integrations can consult the official release notes and issue changelog for implementation details before upgrading.
