Hi. I need help copying the attachment to my Image column. All of the Attachments in my VMS - Answers SPList are also photos/images. I'm wondering if I can copy that to the Image column.

PS: Attachments are being uploaded via Power Apps. I can't modify the Power Apps to use the Image column instead of Attachments because that would be a lot of work for me. I'm thinking Power Automate would be the fastest way to do that.

I tried creating the flow but I can't get it to work. Here's my current flow:

Hi _maaaaavs_,

The image column in SharePoint list just store the json metadata of image. When you add/update the image column, it actually uploads the image to hidden library or special library (such as SiteAssets,...) then store the metadata to Image column.

The meta data of image column is a json like this:

{

"filename": "abc.jpg",

"serverRelativeUrl": "/sites/myta/SiteAssets/Thumbnail/abc.jpg",

"id": "123456",

"type": "thumbnail"

}

Finally,

1. In the flow, you can upload the image to a library -> copy path of file -> generate the json -> update to ImageColumn

2. The image column in SharePoint just can store single image.

Good luck!
