Posted on by Hein Kruger 666

I want to import a picture based on the File path specified.(Business Central OnPrem)

On Page 346 Item Picture an ImportFromDevice prcedure was created.
I copied the exact procedure to my item Card extension page and got errors for all import,Upload and delete of files.

The type or method 'UploadFile' cannot be used for 'Extension' development

How can I import a picture from an extension? is there another way that makes use of a file path and not manual selection  from user?

I have the same question (0)

    Hi Hein,

    As you are using OnPrem version of Business Central, you can try changing the "target" property from app.json from "Cloud" to "OnPrem". I believe that should allow you to achieve what you are trying to do.

    In the App.Json. 
    Add Target = "Internal". It removed the extension errors

    My EnvironmentType: "OnPrem"

    My solution was resolved by adding a Target: "Internal" to the App.Json
