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
