Description

Expected behavior

According to the documentation I can make the user select an existing CloudinaryImage: http://keystonejs.com/docs/database/#fieldtypes-cloudinaryimage

Actual/Current behavior

This is inside my model:

  image: {
    type: Types.CloudinaryImage,
    autoCleanup: true,
    select: true,
    folder: 'users',
    selectPrefix: 'users',
  },

using it with or without folder and selectPrefix, nothing happens to my UI. It's just the normal "Upload image" button.

Steps to reproduce the actual/current behavior

Add select: true to type: Types.CloudinaryImage

Environment

Research direction
The issue reports that the `select` option on `Types.CloudinaryImage` does not work as documented. The bug is likely in the Cloudinary field type implementation. Start by locating the CloudinaryImage field definition in the Keystone source code (fields/types/cloudinaryimage). Check how the `select` option is handled in the field's UI rendering logic. Compare with other field types that support `select` (e.g., Types.Select) to understand the expected behavior. The documentation reference suggests that `select: true` should enable a UI to select existing images from Cloudinary. The issue may be missing a route or controller to fetch images from Cloudinary. Look for any recent changes or related issues in the repo (note: the issue is from 2018).
