In this blog i am going to discuss about “Image” type attribute/field in CRM and how this can be used to enable image for an entity on the form like below:

Lets see how we can achieve this:

   Give it a name and select Datatype as image – as soon as you select datatype , you will notice that Schema of the field is set to “entityimage”. Save & close
2. Now 2nd step is to navigate to entity definition as below:

   In the property ” Primary Image” – you will see the name has come , if not select it from the dropdown.

3. Final Step is to make form changes, navigate to the form and open form editor and click on “form properties” , select the below option:

   

4. Lastly save and close the form and publish all customizations. Navigate to the entity record , you will notice an image icon is now appearing on the form.
   
5. click on the image and browse the image you want to set:
