How to create MM componentMultimedia Components in specific publication by EXPMPublication using Experience Manager

It'sIt is possible to create a new multimedia component by Experience Manager, by using "Drag and drop a file here or click to upload a new file into this folder" menu.

But when I create a multimedia component, it'sit is created in different publication fromPublication than what I expected.

My BluePrint structure is followingas follows.

  • 02 Global Content
  • 06 Translation
  • 07 Country Site

(There are some "Regional" layerlayers between 02 Global Content and 06 Translation, but omitting them to simplify.)

When I use Experience Manager on 07 Country Site, my desired behavior is follwing.:

  • Components created in 02"02 Global ContentContent" are localized or eidted on "06edited in the "06 Translation" Publication
  • New multimedia component iscomponents are created onin the "07 Country Site" Publication

So I configured BluePrintthe "BluePrint Context SettingSetting" for Components of 07the website published from the "07 Country SiteSite" Publication as following.:

  • Alternative BluePrint Publication is "06 Translation".
  • Checkbox "Also create Components-----..." is OFF.

ButHowever, the multimedia component iscomponents are still being created in the "06 Translation" Publication.   

(If Checkboxthe "Also create Components-----..." checkbox is ON, the result was still the same - with the Multimedia Components being created in the '06 Translation' Publication.)

How can I createconfigure this so that new multimedia componentcomponents are created in the "07 Country Site" Publication?
