Image column from my Sharepoint list was showing in powerapps "Gallery" and other screens but stopped showing suddenly

These are "Image1", "Image2" ... columns which are of type Thumbnail / Image

In app i am using column "Image1" (internal name "Images") in gallery but its not displaying

If(IsBlank(ThisItem.Images.Small),noimg,ThisItem.Images.Small)

Image columns are not displaying in other screens too

Whats the issue why they are not showing? Any workaround?

Edit:

In the gallery control I used:

First(SharePointList).Images

It does not show the image, which is simply a Thumbnail type of column

I have also tried using Filter to get image column

Filter('SPList', ID = ThisItem.ID).Image2

It is giving error "Expected Image value"

I'll have a quick look later this afternoon.

I'm fairly sure that your formula should be along the lines of

If(IsBlank(ThisItem.Image1.Small),noimg,ThisItem.Image1.Small)

Hi @akg1421

On the basis that your formula previously worked and now doesn't work, I'd start by seeing if the app works in a different browser. This would rule out issues that may be caused by caching or authentication.

I'd then build a new app to see if the problem exists there. This would help identify whether there's a setting or some corruption in your existing app that causes this behaviour.

In your existing app, you could also try to display a single image outside of the gallery on a separate screen. This could help identify whether the quantity of images that you're trying to display is causing this behaviour.

First(SharePointList).Images.Small

@timl Didn't help. In the Gallery control I used as data source:

First(SharePointList).Images

Not displaying
Image column is simply a Thumbnail type of column

I also tried using Filter to get image column

Filter('SPList', ID = ThisItem.ID).Image2

It is giving error "Expected Image value"

What's your prognosis?

Hi @akg1421 ,

Try deleting the Image control and then adding it back, using your original code:

If(IsBlank(ThisItem.Image1.Small),noimg,ThisItem.Image1.Small)

@BCBuizer I tried deleting Image control from Gallery then adding it back again. It did not work! Please test the Image (Thumbnail) column with considerably large no of rows (>100) and add the data source in PowerApps.. I haven't been able to pin point the bug

Hi @akg1421 ,

I tested it and got an error for "noimg", so I replaced it with "SampleImage" and that worked for me:

If(IsBlank(ThisItem.Image1.Small),SampleImage,ThisItem.Image1.Small)

@BCBuizer noimg is an image resource in my app. It is strange because I checked where the Image files itself are stored, they are stored in "Site Assets > {List ID} > Img file.jpg" and there is no associated item ID or anything!

Hello @akg1421 ,

Could you check your SharePoint list and see if your images are accessible from SharePoint?

Are they stored on SharePoint and can you open them?
