Images in Power Apps Rich Text Editor
There is an issue where the app's rich text fields no longer save images. If an image is pasted into one of the rich text fields in edit mode the image will appear in the text box. However, after saving the image disappears.
The Power App is integrated with a SharePoint list. The app also has a Power Automate flow that runs when the user clicks a button which creates an HTML file for the item in the list:
Does anyone know if Microsoft changed how the rich text field for Power Apps handles images? Or is it possible that a setting in the app or list was changed by mistake so that images are no longer allowed in the rich text field? The columns with rich text all have enhanced rich text enabled so I'm not sure what's causing the issue. The flow has also not been modified since February and the issue started about 2 weeks ago.

- We had the same issue in one of our environments three weeks ago. The image was displayed in the preview of the RTE field but disappeared once the upload dialog was closed.
We opened a case with Microsoft. The issue was resolved by the time a technician was available to look at the issue in detail. Technician told me Microsoft is making changes to the RTE field and that could be the reason for the issue.
To be clear, no one at Microsoft nor on our side did anything. An update probably broke the RTE field and another one fixed it about 2 weeks later. It seems there's an issue with images disappearing from rich text fields in your Power Apps integrated with SharePoint. While it's unclear if Microsoft made changes, it's worth checking app and list settings for any inadvertent changes. If the problem persists, consider reaching out to Microsoft support for assistance. Ensuring smooth functionality is key for productivity.
