Button feature to attach an image from within the base

Hello Friends!

I’m not sure how to do this but perhaps there is someone out there that can help me. With all my records we use 1 image to quickly identify the type of record.

For example,: We have a tab with all our webinars. We use two images to identify which is which (CRO or PV). To do this with each new record, it’s annoying to upload the same image repeatedly.

I like the idea of using the BUTTON feature to attach an image, but the issue is that it will only add images from Pexels. I’m looking to upload images from within my base with a table dedicated to images acting as a portal.

Does this make sense to anybody? Any idea how this can be done?

    Hi Lena, what if you used linked and lookup fields for this?

    You’d have your table dedicated to images like so:

    And then you’d add a linked field to the table dedicated to images and link each record to the right image record

    You’d then add a lookup field to display the image itself

    Here’s a link to the base

    Thanks for the suggestion. I will give it a try and let you know if it works for me or not. Stay tuned… :slightly_smiling_face:
