Posted on by PH-18030948-0

Hey,

While testing my app i noticed that my images stored in Lists arent displaying.

So the logic of my app is to scan a code and return some values and a the corresponding image for that record.

In the OnSelect is set a variable as "varRecord".

All the labels are displaying their values but for "varRecord.Photo" which is pointing to the image column isnt returning me an image anymore but a URL.

Thanks in advance for the help

Dear @PH-18030948-0,

Can you please share a screenshot of the control that's having the issue and its Image property along with a sample value for varRecord.Photo?

This is all to verify your current setup and make sure it is valid. In itself nothing has to be wrong with varRecord.Photo returning a URL, because the image control may still retrieve the image from the passed URL.

Hi @PH-18030948-0 ,

This behavior is expected when working with SharePoint “Image” or “Hyperlink/Picture” columns in Power Apps. Those fields don’t directly store the binary image they store a URL reference to the image file. That’s why your label shows the value as a URL instead of rendering the image.

Suggest path to fix:

Use the Image control properly

In your Image control, set the property to:
varRecord.Photo

If Photo is an Image column, Power Apps should render it automatically.

If it’s a Hyperlink/Picture column, you need to explicitly tell the Image control to treat it as a URL:
Image = varRecord.Photo

(The control will then fetch and display the image from that URL.)

Check column type in SharePoint

If the column is “Person or Group” or “Hyperlink/Picture,” it will return a URL string.

If it’s an “Image” column (newer SharePoint feature), Power Apps can render it directly, but sometimes you need to reference the .Value property:
varRecord.Photo.Value

Verify permissions

Make sure the images are stored in a location accessible to your app users (e.g., SharePoint library). If the URL points to a restricted location, the Image control won’t display it.

Test with a static image

Paste the URL from varRecord.Photo into a browser. If the image loads, then Power Apps should be able to display it. If not, the issue is with the storage/permissions.

Your labels show text because they can display strings, but the Image control requires either an image object or a valid URL. Try using varRecord.Photo.Value (for Image columns) or varRecord.Photo (for Hyperlink/Picture columns) directly in the Image property. That should make the image render correctly.

I'm having the same issue here.

I have an published app than was runing well for the last 5 months, today the images stop to show.

I had this problem before with the Attachments configuration on the Sharepoint lists. On change the Attachments to On (was Off before) solve the issue.

But now is back.
