Followed the instructions - and got the expected error message.

After applying the Patch, I got: The patch could not be applied because it conflicts with a previously applied patch: administrator/components/com_media/src/Controller/ApiController.php

tks @Quy. If I had applied other patches, I wouldn't have been able to "fetch". Because then a different message would appear after fetch data. I'll check again.

As a test I also tried a different pr (patch). This one was displayed. I tried again, unfortunately I now have error 500 (backend) Frontend OK. So I have to pass now .....

So, I was able to clear the 500 error. It was a MySQL issue. After "fetch data" I got the above message again. So I clicked "Reset" and everything was fine again.
