Broken link for an image in card view

I have a link for an image in my card view, called “Schema-Leggeri.jpg”. The link is autogenerated in the app, the image is in my Google Drive. It used to work perfectly. Since a couple of days I’ve noticed that the link no longer works. I haven’t changed anything.

If I just rename the image and the link, everything works again, but I’d rather since I’d then need to change numerous views:

This seems an annoying bug. Is there a fix/workaround?

I’m not sure what you mean by “autogenerated”? When is your CONCATENATE() function used? How are the files uploaded into the Google folder?

First thing I would try is clearing browser cache. It may just be that the browser has become confused in some way.

I will say that there two general ways AppSheet provides to handle images on Google drive.

  1. If you are uploading through the app, then you would use an image column in a table, set its path in the column config to your desired folder and then use this row to upload your images. This writes the relative path to the image in the data used to retrieve the image for the row.

  2. Static folder locations - you would use the Google folder as a datasource, it will be loaded into the app as a table of images. You can then use it as a ref table for dropdowns to select an image to be used in other table rows. For more details see Use data from Google Drive

I hope this helps!
