Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): Y

Steps to replicate it:

  1. Create an S3 folder in External Storages
  2. There’s no option to use an IAM role instead of access keys. If you leave the keys blank, you can’t click the checkmark to accept

Looks like this has been reported. Either wait for the 20.0.2 release later this month or apply changes to the file manually:

I don’t see how this is a solution. IAM Roles still don’t appear to be an option even after replacing OC_Helper.php with what was in the Github link.
