Initial checklist

Link to runnable example

No response

Steps to reproduce

• NextJS 13.4.3
• uppy/core 3.8.0
• uppy/dashboard 3.7.1
• uppy/react 3.2.1
• uppy/file-input 3.0.4
• uppy/status-bar
• React 18.2.0

using the sample setup for React https://uppy.io/docs/react/ (without webcam)

Sample code

const metaFields = [
  { id: "name", name: "Name", placeholder: "file name" },
  { id: "license", name: "License", placeholder: "specify license" },
  {
    id: "caption",
    name: "Caption",
    placeholder: "describe what the image is about",
  },
];

function UppySample() {
  const [uppy] = React.useState(() => new Uppy());
  return <Dashboard uppy={uppy} metaFields={metaFields} autoOpenFileEditor />;
}

1. Add <UppySample /> to a page.
2. Navigate to the page.
3. Add a file to Uppy.

Expected behavior

The File Editor modal should appear, displaying the metaFields for editing.

Actual behavior

The File Editor modal does not appear.
The File Editor can be accessed via the edit button as normal.

Hi. The autoopenfileeditor refers to a file editor plugin, such as @uppy/image-editor, not the meta editing screen. Perhaps we should update the docs to indicate this.
