Hello team

I would like to have a default image that is always the same for the “Image” fields. Can I set this up simply?

The way I see it is to create a workflow that is triggered when a new line is added and if the url of a photo does not exist, I replace it with a default photo.

Is this the right method?

And to have a default photo base, I simply add a “photo” table and store the photos inside?

Thanks for your help,  
Yvan.

- Create a Template column in the table where you want the default image, and add the URL of the image you want to use.
- Add an if-then-else column:  
– If Image is empty, then Default Image  
– Else Image

Alternatively, if you already have the default image in some other table, use a Single Value column to bring it into the table, and then use that in the if-then-else column.
