 To reproduce the issue easily, please install any of the following plugins
 and try creating a gallery. When you click **Publish, Save, or Update,**
 the buttons do not work. The browser console also shows related errors.

 Try with one of these plugins to reproduce the issue:
 https://wordpress.org/plugins/envira-gallery-lite/ OR
 https://wordpress.org/plugins/soliloquy-lite/

 This issue occurs on **WordPress 6.9 RC3**, but everything works correctly
 on **WordPress 6.8.3**.

 It appears to be happening because, in **WordPress 6.9 RC3**, the core
 code adds required to the file upload input here:


 {{{
 <input type="file" name="async-upload" id="async-upload" required>
 }}}

 This required attribute was not present in **6.8.3**, and when added, it
 blocks publishing/updating if no file is uploaded, causing the buttons to
 fail.
