External image display not working in Interfaces

The new feature shown here is not working for my interfaces. Is it not yet released to all?

We figured this out!

 This new option only shows up on the interface record detail screens if you switch the URL field to “view-only” instead of “editable”.

Additionally, on the gallery layout: In the right margin, where you specify the image thumbnail field, there is a new dropdown menu there.

None of my clients are seeing this new feature, either. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Lol, nice one ​@ScottWorld!

That would have been tough to figure out on my own.

Haha, you’re welcome! Yeah, those are definitely deeply-hidden options!

@ScottWorld 

I have tested it in my detail view and have no change at all. Can you share a screen copy of an example ?
Regards

Thank-you very much,
I have been able to see it… But as it must be “View only”, it is a very limited function in my opinion. I don’t see in which field I could use it.

Yeah, it’s very strangely implemented. But you can just put the editable version of your URL field right above it or right below it. Or even to the side of it.
