Hi Jessica, i also tried to work for mobile enable form..i am using following procedure, not perfect for your case, but its working for mobile enable form
1) upload images in document folder
2) create a constant of document type which will hold multiple value.
3) using image field on form i am choosing file value like below :
=if(pv!ImgName="valueToBeCheck",cons!ImgConstant[1],cons!ImgConstant[2])

Hi Jessica, since you are planning on saving the image ID to the database, I would highly recommend to use the UUID when storing in the database, because UUID is the only unique identified that stays the same when you export the Application from one environment to another. You cannot rely on ID when migrating Application over systems.

You can do the following:
1) Create an Application with the image (Document), if you don't already have an Application including this image.
2) Export the Application, and grab the UUID by reviewing the LOG file. You can use this UUID to store in the DB.
3) Now if your process get the Document back by using expression getcontentdetailsbyuuid("<image-document-uuid>").
4) You can then use the Document directly in the image forument component.

Please let me know if you have questions. Good luck!

Have you tried using the linktodocumentinternal() function?

I have used before todocument (pv!docId) and image component

Check the URL to ensure it is correct. The other option is on the the image component select the choose file option and open the expression editor.In the editor use the todocument(docid) function to render the image.

this should be mobile-enabled,that's why i cant use message field to display images.my problem is,how can i show an image using "IMAGE field" with the link - https://<domain>/suite/doc/<docID> where <docid> will change depending on a condition. If i choose ENTER URL: ="https://<domain>/suite/doc/" & pv!docID, it returns error in the expression picker. Any suggestions on how to display images using appian link?
