Import Item Pictures - cannot overwrite existing pictures?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 152

I'm trying to bulk upload photos. 

I believe I used to be able to click on "Replace Pictures" previously and update existing photos but now 

Replace Pictures option is Greyed out and I cannot get this to click on to replace. I had to remove the photos and update them for older batches yesterday and today I have more and I'm encountering same issue. What am I missing here?

Thanks,

    Just for an update - mine is okay now. Nothing changed except that I'm using V24 now so I'm guessing it was some kind of a bug.

    I have the same problem. The "Replace image" is not possible to click. 

    I'm Super User in BC.
    Is this about permissions in BC or what kind of role I have choosed ?

    Versjon: NO Business Central 23.5 (plattform 23.0.18033.0 + program 23.5.16502.16589)

    Does anybody experience the same issue with me at all? I was hoping with update to 22 I'd be okay but it is still the same case - I get no option for Replace and I am Super User - I'm guessing I should have all the permissions?
     
    Thanks,

    Hi, If you don't have any customizations in your environment, this may be a standard issue with the CA version.

    My test version: Version: W1 21.1 (Platform 21.0.48357.49602 + Application 21.1.48363.48789)

    Thanks I did - and I have been using this upload method quite a few times. It's something that is not the same after the update.

    Thanks! that's what I remember what I used to do. but if you look at my screenshot I uploaded 23 photos, among 4 were replacements. (Says Image already exists) However, it doesn't show up as Replace qty (It says 0 instead of 4) and just skips. I cannot click on 'Replace' and it is greyed out as well. My version is Version: CA Business Central 21.1 (Platform 21.0.48357.49378 + Application 21.1.48363.48789) and I only started to have this issue after this update.

    Hi, I just tested it and it seems to work fine. Replace Picture can be enabled after selecting Zip File.

    PS: If Item No. is not found in BC, Skip will be displayed.
