**Description**

- The Glide OpenAI → Generate Image workflow step consistently fails with the error: “Could not save generated image.”
- This feature previously worked without any configuration changes on my side.
- The failure occurs 100% of the time across all prompts and workflows tested.
- OpenAI API requests appear to complete successfully (visible usage in the OpenAI dashboard).
- The image is generated by OpenAI but Glide does not save it to the target column.
- The target column is a Basic Image column that successfully stores manually uploaded images.
- Reconnecting the integration and regenerating the API key did not resolve the issue.
- The behavior persists across multiple tables, workflows, and prompts (static and dynamic).
- The issue appears to occur during Glide’s image storage/save process rather than during image generation.
- This blocks all automation workflows that depend on generated images..

**How to replicate**

- Ensure the table contains a Basic Image column.
- Create a new workflow.
- Add step → OpenAI → Generate Image.
- Enter any prompt (static text or dynamic value).
- Set the output destination to the Basic Image column.
- Trigger the workflow.
- Result: The step fails with “Could not save generated image.”.

Please help identify the cause and provide a fix or workaround so generated images are stored correctly again.
