How do I set my “upload new” button to upload a new image to replace the current image that I have instead of creating a whole new entry? ![Screen Shot 2021-03-23 at 6.07.13 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/9/3/93bd0fdcec30d9763813d9a2912fae83dfc48da5.png) ---

I would set the action to Link to Screen (This Item), and put an image picker on that screen. ---

Is it a form ? Have you created a button to upload an image ? Image picker maybe ? ---

so I created the button “Upload New” and that takes you to the image picker. But then, when I click “submit,” it still creates a new entry instead of replacing the my current image of the insurance card ---

You can add an image picker and set the data column to the image column like the following photo ![16165425072469102767316329930679](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/5/e/5ed7cff453525a9e3e3f125dd2b654d21e2842c3.jpeg) This way you will replace the old image without adding any rows ---

but I have multiple rows (for different entries) under my image column in my data set, so when I set the data column to image, how does it know which entry to replace the image? ---

I set action to Link to screen, but I could only link it to the “Files” screen. Thus, instead of replacing my current image, it just created a new entry under my “Files” screen. Also, thank you for your help and patience! I just joined Glide today, so I’m still learning! ---

Is your upload button opening a form or is it directly linking to a screen? If it’s opening a form, then it’s always going to add a new row. If you want to update an existing row, then you don’t want to use a form since it will always add a row. Can you show the action settings on your button? ---

ohhhh ok…my upload button is opening a form…so if I’m understanding you correctly now, I should put an image picker on the same screen as my upload button. Then have the action for my upload button be linked to that screen? ---

No, you should change the action on the button from Open Form to Link to Screen (This Item). This will give you a new screen linked to the same row. On the new screen you can have an image picker that updates the image in that same row. ---
