This doesn’t work for me, but where I’m stuck may be something unrelated:
I don’t think I have the User Profile set up correctly. I am not trying to do anything special, just get something default working. The prompt suggests “Please assign a user image column,” but the dropdown is grayed out. The User Profile shows a Lock icon in the left nav, which may be relevant - I don’t know the intended meaning there. Maybe that’s normal?
Airtable has an ‘attachments’ column type which it uses for images. (In other contexts, Glide correctly recognizes this as containing images.) So maybe that is related to the issue. I’ve tried that, and URL type, and lastly defining the column as image from the Glide UI (but it’s still an Airtable column).
I agree, it was quite counterintuitive. I hadn’t thought they were connected.
My theory, although I haven’t tested this: perhaps the ‘allow image update’ filtered for writable image columns. My Airtable API key grants read-only access at this time, so no columns satisfied the filter.
