Can you use a built-in icon as source for an image?

For example, by setting the Image property of my image control to " If ( IsBlank( item.'Entity Image' ), Icon.Camera, item.'Entity Image' ) "?

I know this example construction doesn't work since I tried it, but is something like this possible? It would be easier than adding a separate icon control that you impose on top of the Image control whenever the image is blank.

Hi @MrNappa ,

Do you want to use the internal icon's image to update image field?

I'm afraid it's not supported in PowerApps currently.

Because the icon property is an input property and could only be used to set the icon itself.

If you use this property outside, it will be invalid.

For example, I set an image control's Image to Icon.Add, it display blank.

I suggest you express your views about using internal images on PowerApps Ideas Forum. Your precious feedback will be very helpful for our work.

As an alternative way, I suggest you upload some local images to use.

In media pane, choose browse , select the default images that you want.

Then, you could use these images when the entity image is blank.

For example, your uploaded image named addimage, try this formula:

If ( IsBlank( item.'Entity Image' ), addimage, item.'Entity Image' )
