At the moment I can't confirm your find. In your testing instructions I miss the step

• Select the field group "[My User Profile Group]" and save the field.

Did you do that?

Which J4 version are you using?

I will update mine to current nightly version and try again.

I can't confirm this either

I still can't reproduce after update to newest nightly

Thank you for testing @ReLater and @brianteeman !
I had this issue with the current 4.0-dev (synchronized this morning).

When I tried to reproduce this issue again, I found out that I had NOT assigned the [Photo] field to the [My User Profile Group] Field Group. So my Field Group said "None".

IMHO the Tab "Fields" might be confusing.
Would it appropriate to relabel that tab to "Ungrouped Fields"?

Would it appropriate to relabel that tab to "Ungrouped Fields"?

Not for me. That would imply that all fields really should be in a group and there really isnt a need for that to be the case

You can create a language override for JGLOBAL_FIELDS or if you want to be more component specific you can create new language strings via Languages: Overrides in the back-end like COM_USERS_FIELDS_USER_LABEL, COM_CONTENT_FIELDS_ARTICLE_LABEL and so on.

These language strings don't exist yet in Joomla core but are tested here: https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/4.0.0-alpha8/administrator/components/com_fields/Helper/FieldsHelper.php#L422-L427 .

Add.: Override for JGLOBAL_FIELDS may have conflicts. I wouldn't do that.

I’m going to close this as the original issue can’t be reproduced. In terms of the field groups. If we want to rename the none group (I’m sympathetic to that actually to improve UX) then that should be done against staging not j4
