Set Image From Gdrive as Initial Value

[Peter_S1]

Can’t seem to be able to set an image from Gdrive as initial value. Can someone please help on how to do this?

What have you tried?
Where is the file in relation to your main Table’s GSheet?

[Peter_S1]

I’ve tried searching for a solution on how to do this. The file would be hosted on google drive. I have an Image column in the table and would like to set an initial value of that Image column when a new record is created. Can a link be used from Gdrive?

If the image file lives outside of the app’s gDrive folder configure in Info >> Properties, the image must be available to the public, and you’ll need to find and use the “download link” for the image in your initial value.
