I am not able to see media stored in the field of the custom table, but the same image if I upload it on an item, then able to see it. Any idea on how to achieve this.

I am using this logic to import file

FileName := FileManagement.BLOBImport(Tempblob, 'Select a file to import');
                            Tempblob.CreateInStream(InsTream);
                            Rec.Init();
                            Rec."File Content".ImportStream(InsTream, FileName, FileManagement.GetExtension(FileName));
                            Rec."File Name" := FileManagement.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(FileName);
                            Rec."File Extension" := FileManagement.GetExtension(FileName);
                            Rec.Insert();

HI,

The issue you're encountering typically occurs because the images are not being properly imported into Business Central's Media or MediaSet field type.
you're using BLOBImport and importing it into a File Content field — but:

If File Content is a Blob, it won't display a preview in the UI like media does.

Business Central requires that images be stored in Media or MediaSet fields for previewing (especially on list pages or cards).

Change your field to be of type Media (or MediaSet if you want multiple images), and use the proper ImportStream overload on Media:

FileName := FileManagement.BLOBImport(Tempblob, 'Select a file to import');
Tempblob.CreateInStream(InStream);

Rec.Init();
Rec."Image Media".ImportStream(InStream, FileName); // Assuming "Image Media" is of type Media
Rec."File Name" := FileManagement.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(FileName);
Rec."File Extension" := FileManagement.GetExtension(FileName);
Rec.Insert();

If you find this helpful, please mark it as verified :)

Confirm two points
1. Is it a media field?

2. Check whether the image was uploaded successfully, for example, if you add a download/export button, check whether it can be downloaded.

Hope this can give you some hints.

Thanks.
