Removed media folder breaks whole page

When the type "Folder" is used in a cb and the folder is removed in the fileadmin, the whole page (be editing and fe) breaks (500) because the folder cannot be found.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Add type "Folder" to a CB.
2. Add a folder to the content element.
3. Remove or rename the folder in the media module.
4. Try to open the Layout module of the page with the content element. → error 500
5. Try to open the fe of the page. → error 500

Expected behavior
The content element breaks and produces an error but not the whole page.

The ContentBlockDataDecorator should try to resolve the field and catch errors and provide them to the template.

TYPO3 Version
14.3.3

Content Blocks Version:
2.4.5

It shouldn't be possible to delete a folder, if there are still references to it. Just like for images.
I'll have a look, but I'm not sure if this is something that has to be fixed in Content Blocks. The same would happen with Core Content Elements.

Hm, you are right. But it seems, that when using type "Folder" in CB, the path is written to the db field instead of creating a sys_file_reference. Maybe that's the problem.

This is the normal behavior in Core. Folders are not file references. Only the identifier is written to the db as a comma separated list. Content Blocks does nothing special on top or anything.
