Is it possible to prefill a form with an attachment field so an image renders on the form? I see this question has been asked twice but no one answered. If possible, it would save us soooo much time.
Prefill form with an Attachment field?

+35No, Airtable forms only allow you to customize the header logo & the header banner with photos or images.
To place images or photos anywhere else on your form, you would need to either use JotForm or Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable.
I much prefer Fillout because Fillout is 100% free and it offers native communication with Airtable.
Fillout also offers hundreds of features that Airtable’s native forms don’t offer, including the ability to update Airtable records using a form, display Airtable lookup fields on forms, control access to a form via SSO or email domains, perform math or other live calculations on your forms, accept payments on forms, collect signatures on a form, create multi-page forms with conditional paths, create new linked records on a form, 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:
- Using Fillout to create an eSignature approval process with PDF file creation.
- Using Fillout to create an order entry form with line items.

+2No, Airtable forms only allow you to customize the header logo & the header banner with photos or images.
To place images or photos anywhere else on your form, you would need to use JotForm, which has 25 different image widgets to choose from:
Additionally, if you need to conditionally lookup your Airtable attachments to dynamically display on your JotForm form, you can add on On2Air: Forms to be used in conjunction with JotForm:
Also, for any Airtable newbies who might be reading this thread in the future, I teach all about Airtable’s forms in my free Airtable training course here:
EDIT: I also just remembered that MiniExtensions.com supports images as well:
Thanks for the detailed reply, Scott. I ended up getting across the finish line by attaching the image that needs approval to an email with a button linked to a Make webhook (with a 303 redirect response) to trigger a status update in AT.

Hi there!
We built a 3rd-party form for Airtable at miniExtensions that you can use to display images inside any field. Just select the image in the field's settings and it will be rendered inside the form:
The image will be displayed with the Name field when the form is filled out:
