Is there a non-scripting way to filter out specific filenames from an attachment field?

 

Interface look up field displaying jackets of manuscripts. Want to show all images bar those with the filename “Placeholder.png” Had hoped for an “Only include linked records where ‘Jacket’ ‘filenames does not contain’ but missing that one.

Or a formula where I can use FILTER into a second field but still display an image?

Didn’t want to use scripting as want to keep as a look up  but maybe I’m missing something?

 

Any ideas appreciated!

You can create a formula field with the formula of just the field name (i.e. Jacket). That should return the filename.extension and airtable attachment link. Then you can use that field for your ‘does not contain’ condition above.
