Error pop up while uploading new media: NoModificationAllowedError: Modifications are not allowed for this document

[memmer57]

Describe the Bug

Decided to give Payload a try, when I tried starting a new project and uploading some sample images into my Payload media an error popped up. The upload went through fine, however, I believe that a clean new project shouldn't have this issue even when starting in development env.

Link to the code that reproduces this issue

Reproduction Steps

• Create payload project using npx create-payload-app@latest
• Start using npm run dev
• Open admin and create new user
• Bulk upload new media using drag and drop
• Error pops up saying NoModificationAllowedError: Modifications are not allowed for this document
