MediaTexts and Anchors get lost - liquid templates

[bashuss]

Describe the bug

using OC 1.7
When accessing the media field, which is part of my BlogPost ContentType by Model.Content.BlogPost-Carousel
and passing it to new shape as parameter, Anchors and MediaTexts get lost. Paths are still available.

this creates the problem:
{{ "CarouselShape" | shape_new: Media: Model.Content.BlogPost-Carousel | shape_render }}

I get in CarouselShape:
{{ Model.Media.Paths | json }} => Array of paths
{{ Model.Media.MediaTexts | json }} => null
{{ Model.Media.Anchors | json }} => null

Calling in this way works for me:
{{ "CarouselShape" | shape_new: Media: Model.ContentItem.Content.BlogPost.Carousel | shape_render }}

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create or edit a ContentType "Test", with media field called "Carousel", which allows Anchors and MediaTexts
2. Create a Template for ContentType "Test", named "Content__Test", which does something like this:

<div>
<h2>this fails: Model.Content.Test-Carousel</h2>
{{ "TestShape" | shape_new: Media: Model.Content.Test-Carousel | shape_render }}
</div>
<div>
<h2>this works: Model.ContentItem.Content.Test.Carousel</h2>
{{ "TestShape" | shape_new: Media: Model.ContentItem.Content.Test.Carousel | shape_render }}
</div>

3. Create a Template for Shape "TestShape", which does something like this:

<ul>
<li>Paths:  {{ Model.Media.Paths | json }}</li>
<li>MediaTexts: {{ Model.Media.MediaTexts | json }}</li>
<li>Anchors: {{ Model.Media.Anchors | json }}</li>
</ul>

4. Create a ContentItem for Test ContentType with images, MediaTexts and Anchors
5. Preview
6. The result show different behavior for both calls, as described above.

Expected behavior

I would expect, when Paths are available, that also MediaTexts and Anchors are available in the same way.

Have you tried this?

<li>MediaTexts: {{ Model.Media.MediaTexts }}</li>
<li>Anchors: {{ Model.Media.Anchors }}</li>

Did you try it in OC 1.8.x?

Have you tried this?

<li>MediaTexts: {{ Model.Media.MediaTexts }}</li>
<li>Anchors: {{ Model.Media.Anchors }}</li>

No, but I tried this:

{% if Model.Media.MediaTexts %}
{% assign text = Model.Media.MediaTexts[index] %}
{% endif %}

Text was never set until I used the workaround described above.

No, still have problems with migrating my main menu handling in 1.8 - cannot get my front end to work properly. Just a matter of time, which I don't have enough right now. Will get back to you, when I had a chance to migrate.
