I have an images column on a table that I want to copy to a new table in order to display them in a certain way on my details pages

I can never figure out how to start a helper table so that it connects to the original column correctly

I’m not sure how it needs to be set up in order to create the look I’m going for!

I want Image 1 to be the main photo, and then images 2-5 to show up in a horizontal row under the title block.

like this:

I want to connect the new table to the individual businesses via email

Does that help??

Just sent you a message, since you needed help with the icons as well I might find some time to help with both and post the solution here.

I built something similar recently as follows:

- A carousel pointing to a multiple images column
- A title component

I don’t need the image of the title component in the carousel (which I called the plan image), so the plan image has its own image column and the user uploads the plan image in an image picker and the images for the carousel in a different image picker.

You can slice and dice the array of images in the multiple images column by using a slice array computed column. So there are two things you can do with this:

- Idea 1: Create one slice array column, slice from 0 to 3, and point an image component to that column to generate a carousel of those 4 images
- Idea 2: Create 4 slice array columns, slice from 0 to 1, 1 to 2, 2 to 3 and 3 to 4 in each slice array column respectively, and in the layout editor display a 4-column container with 1 image component per column which point to to each slice array column.

Idea 1
