When uploading an image to Dataverse using forms or a canvas app on power apps, it is just showing as a blank rectangle. I'm using images under 10kb in a jpg format. My datatype is an image and I have allowed full size images. The image shown below is how its displayed. Has anyone a solution for this?

Hi!

As far as I know, Image Type columns in Dataverse are not supposed to be displaying anything in the user inteface for viewing Dataverse tables:

Do you have similar issues when viewing the images in Power Apps?

I've seen various examples where it does like the image below.

The image displays in Powerapps when I upload it as a record using the following code

Collect(
colPhotos,
{
PhotoName:AddMediaButton2.Media,
photoUpload:{FileName: AddMediaButton2.Text, photoBlob: AddMediaButton2.Media}}
);

However when I use this code I cannot not patch it to the dataverse table as the datatype is not a record. When I flatten the structure ands map it to the binary data using the following code

Collect( colPhotos, { FileName: AddMediaButton2.Text, ImageFile: AddMediaButton2.Media } ); The image does not display in power apps.

Images are not implicitly viewable in Dataverse. You have to create a from within dataverse using the Data Experience

See this site on how to configure one
