Rows in my table have an Owner column of type People. I can display the Owner on a card, but cannot control the layout of the Owner’s photo. I would like to display the Owner’s photo on a card as an image because I can control the layout of images on a card.
Thus, I created an “Image” column with the formula Owner.Photo
. This appears to work in the formula editor, but then the content of the column remains blank. The image does not appear in the column.
Any thoughts?
Hi @Michael_Hewitt,
try to change the column type to Text or Image URL.
Edit.
A more comprehensive explanation.
-
Image
datatype refers to a uploaded local images that are stored as a binary blobs
-
Image URL
displays the content of a web referenced image (basically like an <img src="...">
HTML tag)
-
Text
tries always to detect the actual renderer for how the content should be displayed.
So, to display the People.Photo
attribute, you can either select Image URL
or Text
.
The difference between the two is only on the style (Text
adds the circle style typical of People display).
I hope this helps.
