Hy
I have a small issue with connecting images with names. I managed to make it work partly but not completely.
Watching a video tutorial on appsheets youtube channel (I think it was a deep dive, can’t really find it again), I learned how to make the connection between a name of a user and an image.
Here is the Table for Makers (my users):
So in Projects, I have one person Responsable. I made the Responsable column a reference to the Makers Table that has the Name column and the Image column as Labels, and it works perfectly:
So that’s great
But in tasks, I want a Team to carry it out. So I made a Team Column as EnumList, with Base Type Referencing the Makers Table.
However, here when I make a new Task:
I get the names but NO Images. On the PC I get those orange triangles of attention, and on the mobile I just get the names with no images and no triangle:
Any Idea what I am doing wrong with the Tasks?

Thank you
Interesting, you might want to email support@appsheet.com for this one; it looks like you’ve got everything configured correctly for the team enumlist. I would say something about checking that the referenced table is correctly selected, but it is - just like the first one - so things should be working.
It might be one little thing is a little off, but I think it’s something that we wouldn’t have access too.
Ok, thanks.
I sent an email
I’ll fill the answer in here when we’ll figure it out.

Hi, I can just answer here. There are two main problems I see. In the last screenshot of the deck view, this is a limitation of how EnumList values currently display. EnumLists of Refs still have some limitations compared to individual Refs which we need to address, and the image is not supported yet in all contexts.
The second problem of the triangle icons indicates a mismatch between the values being displayed in the dropdown and the key column values of the referenced rows. For references to work the values of the Ref column must match values of the Key column of the referenced table. In this case the valid_if is overriding the dropdown to show the Porcela column which is the text label but not the key. Since the Ref dropdown automatically uses the key by default, the only reason to override it would typically be to do additional filtering. In this case since there’s no filtering, just removing the valid_if from Treburi should fix it. I thought we showed a warning for that but it looks like I was mistaken. I’ll see if we can add one.

Hy @Adam,
Sorry for the late reply, I hope you haven’t forgotten the subject
But I can’t figure out which valid_if from Treburi you are talking about?

Sorry, I think I should have said from Echipa. Whichever EnumList has the broken image icons.
Yes, “Echipa” has the issue and it had a Validity_if formula, but taking it out didn’t solve the triangles though … I just wrote another questin about these triangles, beacuse I am clearly missing an understading of how references work and I can’t find much documentation …

Hello, As you can see below, I am invaded by attention triangle marks. I guess it’s a beginners thing as I see many questions on the topic and reading them all … I’m still blank. Didn’t find anything on youtube or Documentation … (a youtube with solving a bunch of these would be amazing since they are a common beginners lack of understanding). [Triangles] Obviously, there is something fundamental I am not understanding here, in how References and de-references should be set up. I’ve got tw…
(I mean there is a lot about how to build them but not much on how you build them badly and how to make them better again )
