There might be an easy solution that I’m missing here but I have a client app that creates entries to a list. Images are normally captured via the camera or camera roll but on some occasions, they want to upload pre-made graphic images that are stored in the app. I don’t know how to achieve this. Any ideas would be awesome. Thanks so much everybody 😀

Image columns contain nothing more than a URL pointing to the location of an image. All you need is a way to populate the column with the url of a pre-upload image. Instead of using an image picker, you can use a choice component for example.

Thanks @Jeff_Hager , I suspected that was going to be the case, but I was getting myself lost in other options. I’ll work along those lines  
Thank you again 😀
