(Previous Version)"},"content":{"rendered":"

We are extremely pleased to announce the support for images in the Common Data Service! Support for images has been one of the top asks from customers since General Availability, and we’re happy to say we heard you! With this new work, you can add a field of data type Image<\/strong> to your entities and use those when building your apps with PowerApps. We also have multiple standard entities that also have image fields such as Product<\/i> entity which you can consume in your app.<\/p>\n

Adding an image field<\/b><\/h2>\n

You can add an image field to custom or standard entities. Here are the steps to do that:<\/p>\n

  2. Click or tap an entity, and then click or tap Add field<\/strong> near the top of the screen. \u00a0You can filter the list by typing one or more characters in the search bar.<\/li>\n
  3. Under Display name<\/strong>, specify the string of text that will identify the field to users.<\/li>\n
  4. Under Name<\/strong>, specify the string of text that you will use to refer to the field in, for example, a formula when you build an app.<\/li>\n
  5. Under Type<\/strong>, specify the type of data as Image<\/strong>\u200b.<\/li>\n
