Auto-deletion of empty media asset attachment containers

The new behavior is active for all object types which can be assigned with a media asset document (e.g. item, product, variant, and structure group).
The new behavior is also active for delete actions via REST calls.
If a media asset attachment is automatically deleted, all its sub-entities including
MediaAssetLang
and its fields (e.g. English description, German alternative text, etc.) will be deleted as well.
It is still possible to create an empty media asset attachment in the "Multimedia attachment" view of the Desktop UI.
If Media Manager is used, media asset attachments will be deleted, once the last media asset document with quality

It is possible to re-activate the previous behavior by modifying this setting in the
