I’m totally new to glide so please forgive my ignorance. I have a series of images, one for each day of the year. I’d like to create a table with 2 columns, date and the image. I want to use it as a lookup table connected to a date picker in the layout.

It seams like the only way to upload the images for the image column is one at a time. I must be missing something…

All help appreciated

Jason

If you were storing the images elsewhere, you could import a CSV file of links. But storing them elsewhere is not recommended.

What you could do is load the entire set of images into a single Multi-Image column and then use a bit of Glide Data Editor magic to transform that into a list of images. You would just need to number the rows in your table from 0-365 (this can be done automatically), and then use a Single Value column to take the Nth image from the start of the Multi-Image array, where N is the row number.

By the way - your list of dates can also be auto-generated.
