Is it possible to do a field mapping for Image data type field

(3) ShareShare

Posted on by 26

Hi Team,

I have two tables: Program and a Contact. Each contact is tagged to a program (kind of how we link contacts to accounts). I have done a field mapping for a bunch of fields between these tables so that when a contact is created from within a program, it auto populates Program Name, Website, etc. 

I have a Program Logo field of data type Image on Program table. Each Program has its logo. I want to show this image on the contact form next to Program Name. I have created image data type field on contact table. I tried to do field mapping but the image field on the contact table doesnt show up under the field mapping screen.

Can someone confirm if that is not feasible? Or is there a workaround.

    You can use power automated flow for this.

    Hello rav,

    hope you have set the primary image field in entity properties.

    Please refer the screenshot below.

    Save and publish your changes once. However this option is applicable for Legacy web Interface(Old UI). 

    If you have implemented all this steps correctly, then go directly to the record and try to insert the image. Irrespective of whether the checkbox is enabled or not.(UCI allows it)

    Hi Vishal - I have selected the Primary Image property on the program table to the image field. But when I go to form properties, the checkbox for Show image in the form is greyed out for me.- Any idea?

    Hello Rav,

    If you have a lookup of Program under Contact, then you can configure the images for entity records and same would be visible in Lookup.

    Please refer the given link for step by step process.
