How do I use images in Type "Enum" for the values to choose from?

[Tiger1]

Can I allow images as choices in a type - “Enum”?

If so, How? I have entered my images and I cannot see them in the app…

[Tiger1]

NM. I figured it out…

I built a table JUST for those icons. I then Enum - ref - to that table.

BAM!

Thanks

That’s the way to do it.
Now, I don’t think an Enum Base Type Image is workable today.
Maybe a table and Ref with Image selected as Label but that will just work to show the image as option but the image will be stil inside the other table, not the column that’s Enum

Ok. I think I got it. Thanks again…

I fairly certain you can do this using a table of images. If your images are in a Google folder, you can use the new Appsheet feature to automatically pull them into a table. See images below.

You might need to tweak a couple things:

1. I change the file column type from “File” to “Image”.
2. I created a Name virtual column that strips of the folders from the Path.

New feature to pull in Files (or Images)

What the dropdown looks like when used as an Enum with bse of REF

Setting Enum choice as Buttons - (Not ideal in this use case!)

oh wow. That looks great! Thanks

It’s actually the same functionality as a table holding images with the Image Column marked as Label.

I’m not trashing your answer, I just don’t use Google Services other than YT

Yeah, I was putting the post together when the other responses were posted. I decided to post even though you had already answered. Thought I’d show a little of that feature while I was at it.

It’s a good and fast solution for GDrive users

You have to turn the security options off for Enum-Image to work, for some reason.

That’s new for me and a little bit weird since it should work when the list of images comes from a column of the same app where AppSheet should take care of the signature stuff
