"then i click refresh go to the user input task to validate the item all the information is showed except the pictures because i keep getting into error when designing the validate form"

What does "click refresh" mean?

So your problem is that you are not able to create the second form because of the error.

As I mentioned, you need to make sure that the image field only shows when there are some images. Then, designer is happy.

What do you mean? In the interface designer? Make sure to show the image field only if there is an image to show. And/or provide some valid values for testing.

Changed it, i dont even get to the user input task (even though I already did it and values are being passed through) because I cant get the interface to work, i get the same error even with the imageId type changed to document

Do you pass the data into the user input task?

Seems like you configured the field in the CDT as an integer. Please change that to "Document". Appian will still persist the id to DB, but I think the rule input used to store uploaded document must be of type Document.

As you can see in the imageId the data is passing throw after submiting the form, when i type a!documentImage(
ri!product.imageId
)

i get this error message now: Interface Definition: Expression evaluation error at function a!imageField [line 72]: The image at index 1 in an image gallery component [label="Item's Pictures"] has an invalid value for "document". "document" must not be null.

First make sure the data flow in your process is correct. Validate this by opening the process instance in monitoring and check whether your process variables have the expected values.

I think that you can reduce your code to

a!documentImage(ri!product.imageId)

Appian will happily cast your data types to the target data type. Keep in mind, this works almost perfectly for assignments, not for comparisons.

Can you try a!documentImage(todocument(ri!product.imageId)) and also check if the document is the available in the folder.
