I've tried but the result is the same. I've commented the sortfield. I thought that it was a good idea and it gave me hope.

I'm beginning to think there is something wrong with the Record Type or configuration of the Community Edition.

Tks for the support so far

Okay, just can you do one thing, you have shared the code of grid, for the grid column image which you are using, you are having a sortfield, can you remove that sortfield and check?

Tks for the help Abhishek.

I understand what you are saying, but the exercise tries to put a condition "if" that should bypass this problem. The expression that the exercise give me is to check if the value is null and if it is so, put the default image instead. So i dont understand where the problem is.

From the execise book <<

if( a!isNullOrEmpty(
fv!row[recordType!W#SA Vehicle.fields.image]
),
a!EXAMPLE_DOCUMENT_IMAGE(),
fv!row[recordType!W#SA Vehicle.fields.image]
)
This expression checks whether the image field is null. If it is null, it displays an
example document image. The example document image is displayed for
existing vehicle data; you will be able to upload vehicle images when you add
new vehicles to the fleet in later exercises.

You need to have document ID in that field, the error says that, since values are null it is unable to find the image

I've looked into the cloud and AS_VEHICLE has 44 rows with data. Image field is null in all rows

Is your record having any data ? Like is your record data consists of document ids ? Or is your record empty? In your database are there any rows ? Or empty

Hi antonios855139 could you try this code by the replacing your record type in the given code

a!gridColumn(

label: "Image",

helpTooltip: "Test images may not represent the actual vehicle",

value: a!imageField(

images: a!documentImage(

document: if(

/*Replace with your record type*/

isnull(

fv!row['recordType!{99b0bb09-e2c0-4f75-a70b-26f247e2d095}AA Vehicle.fields.{c7d0b689-e98f-4cb7-8477-6c63943b30a0}image']

a!EXAMPLE_DOCUMENT_IMAGE(),

/*Replace with your record type*/

fv!row['recordType!{99b0bb09-e2c0-4f75-a70b-26f247e2d095}AA Vehicle.fields.{c7d0b689-e98f-4cb7-8477-6c63943b30a0}image']

hi antonios855139 that is the general example, in reality when you use you need to have your actual record type as mentioned in below image;

recordtype!yourrecordname.fileds.image
