My question is on Why are my pictures only showing up in Grid View, but not when I open up the form and in Form View?

Hey there! Great question.
I don’t know the structure of your base, but I would be willing to be it’s because you need to create a link to the record with the image.
When you create a form within your table (that contains the attachement), you are expecting the form to add an image, however if you make that field a link to another table that contains the attachments you’ll be forcing the user to choose from the images you have already prepared
(This is just a quick guess based on your use case, but if I’m wrong, please share your form/base so we can help)
Alright, I do understand what you mean, however I tried linking another record and still did not work unless I am doing it wrong which might be possible. Could you provide step by step how to do it or shall I proceed to attach it so we can collaborate?
+35Airtable’s forms are for submitting new data into the database, not viewing existing data. So you could have people upload new images into your database via a form, but you can’t have them view existing images via a form.
However, if you want people to view existing images in a form — or even download images via a form — then your #1 best bet for this is to use Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable.
Fillout is 100% free, and it offers hundreds of features that Airtable’s native forms don’t offer, including the ability to add images to your form, view & update Airtable records using a form, create custom PDF files from a form submission, accept payments on forms, display Airtable lookup fields on forms, create new linked records on a form, control access to a form via SSO or email domains or a list of email addresses stored in Airtable, perform math or other live calculations on your forms, collect signatures on a form, create multi-page forms with conditional paths, connect a single form to dozens of external apps simultaneously, add CAPTCHAs to your form, and much more.
I show how to use a few of the advanced features of Fillout on these 2 Airtable podcast episodes:
Hope this helps!
