MicrosoftHaving problems with image type column in sharepoint
ryandempsey Shweta_k855 Smile2024
As per the article SharePoint Online: All you need to know about New Image column type, images added to SharePoint list image columns should be stored in a sub folder inside Site Assets library which has format in general like Site Assets –> Lists –> <GUID of list> and file name should be same as file name you have on your computer while adding the image.
Microsoft is currently rolling out multiple new features for SharePoint Lists / Microsoft Lists. I think those releases must have affected the image column functionality.
I will suggest you to raise a support ticket with Microsoft directly and report this behavior. Follow: Get M365 Support - Online Support

- Hello we have the same problem, I can’t see any logic in the error. I have now opened a support case on Microsoft. Do you have any solutions? Thanks
- Hello,
Could you point us to the Microsoft support link?
Did you get any response from them? - Any updates or feedback?
- I just got off a call with a Microsoft support Rep regarding this issue. They did confirm it is a bug. Unfortunately, they did not have an ETA yet for resolving it.
They did however, provide a workaround, pending that you DO NOT need to use list item attachments.
Go to list settings, then to advanced settings and set list item attachments to Disabled. The images will once again save to Site Assets once again, and not as an attachment.
Hopefully they will get a true fix in place, as this is not a solution for me since I also have list item attachments, as well as an image column. But hopefully it can help others here with the same issue.
