Hello people
So far, the pick image form allow the user to select an image from computer / camera.
Is that a way to offer to the user to select an image coming from a selection of it? They are going to use ALL the time the same 100 differents pictures, so is no need to upload them all the time.
To keep track of the selection, you could add a column, in Users table (for example) and create a Relation & a Lookup columns to retrieve the image and use it somewhere:
Even if that’s not the actual question (which seemed technical at first glance), there is a downside to bringing it up. From a user’s perspective, a long list of values in such a small format might be confusing — especially if the images are quite similar.
If it’s relevant to your case, be aware that it’s also possible to improve this behavior within Glide. Here are a few ideas:
Filter out values that are not relevant. If you have images that only apply to a specific form or section of your app, you could limit the list to show only that content.
Create a two-step selection process. In my screenshot, you could first ask the user to choose between the Art and Landscape categories, and then display a second dropdown with images from the selected category.
Use a collection to display images in a larger format. This is a bit more complex (it requires some computed columns), but could be useful in some situations.
Sorry for going slightly off-topic — I just thought it might be useful!
I had a case like this recently, what I did is still using a choice component with radio buttons, and use CSS to enhance the image.
However, if I were to do it a bit better visually, I would use a custom AI component, feed a list of URLs, tell it to generate a visual choice component with those images, write the choice to a specific field and add a background highlight/border to the “chosen” image.
