Solved: Image Encoding with JSON IncludingBinaryData Not Working

Hi all,

First time poster, hopefully I can relay my issue.

I have built one app where I am using the function JSON to convert an image to base 64 text string with the pen input image to a variable (See Attached).

With this code:

Collect(collSignPicAttach,{DisplayName: "Driver: " & cboDriverList.Selected.DriverName & ".png", Id:Now() & ".png", Value:piDriverSignature.Image});
Set(varDriverSign, piDriverSignature.Image);
Set(varDriverSignbase64, JSON(piDriverSignature.Image,JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData));
Set(varDriverPen,false);
Set(varDriverSavedSign, true);

But when I try to use something similar with this code:

UpdateContext(
 {
 SelDate: Text(dpTripDate.SelectedDate,"yyyy-mm-dd"), 
 SelTime: Text(TimeValue(Now()),DateTimeFormat.LongTime24),
 ItemNum: CountRows(gallPicsCaptured.AllItems) + 1
 }
);
Set(varBase64Pic,JSON(Self.Image,JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData));
Collect( collPictures,
 {
 DisplayName: Text(varNewTripID_FS) & "_" & 
 varPest.PestName & "_" & 
 SelDate & "_" & SelTime & "_(" & ItemNum & ").png", 
 Id: Text(varPest.PestID), 
 Value: Self.Image,
 AbsoluteUri: varBase64Pic
 }

);

in another app with the same function JSON IncludingBinaryData with the Add Image Control, it gives me "appres://blobmanager/398fd....." text and not the binary data I need for a HTMLText control later in the process.

I have tried adding a column with AddColumns function to the collPictures collection with same blobmanager result. As well as placing the variable varBase64Pic in a text label.

Not sure why this app is doing this while the other is giving the expected base 64 data. The only difference that I can think of is that the working app is a pen input control and the app not working is the AddMediaWithImage control. I would think that the 2 controls would process the image the same? Just a guess on my part though.

I have attached a screen shot of the issue as well.

Hoping that it is something simple I am missing or not understanding completely, would really appreciate any help on this.

Thanks!
