Hmm looks like you’re right.

I think my mistake was trying to use a `template` key for a `type: files` _field_, based on examples I was seeing in the [Blueprint samples](https://getkirby.com/docs/reference/panel/samples).

But double-checking now, it looks like those examples use `type: files` _sections_, not `type: files` _fields_, which is hard to tell because it’s implicit (the `sections` key is not used).

So I did not use a correct _field_ config like this:

```yaml
type: files
label: Cover image
max: 1
uploads:
  # this will use the "accept" config from
  # blueprints/files/cover-image.yml
  template: cover-image

```

Because I already had a template key one level higher, based on copy-pasted examples, which was ignored silently:

```yaml
type: files
label: Cover image
max: 1
# this will NOT use the "accept" config from
# blueprints/images/cover-image.yml
template: cover-image
# so I had to redefine the same "accept" config here
uploads:
  accept:
    # …

```
