I have added an Add Picture component to the screen, it seems to upload the picture but I have no idea where and how do I patch this to the CDS?

    There are better options than CDS (now Dataverse) for storing large files like images. Sharepoint and OneDrive are better choices.

    Using a call to Power Automate, you can send a file to your preferred storage location and then generate a sharing link using the Create Share Link by Path (OneDrive) or Creating a Sharing Link by File or Folder (Sharepoint). Have it return the sharing link to your Power App and then update a field of your CDS record to store that sharing link.

    Check out this reference from Warren Belz, who contributes frequently on here, for some additional ideas.
