Andrew Stitt Microsoft updated something in backend which affects external images referred in SharePoint JSON formatting.

Also, it is possible to add/update SharePoint image columns using Power automate: 

  1. Add an image to SharePoint Image columns using Power Automate 
  2. Update image in SharePoint/Microsoft Lists Image columns using Power Automate

    ganeshsanap The backend change was indeed the cause. I added our vendor's domain to the list of "Allow iframes from this domain" in the HTML Field Security settings and that resolved the issue.

    Thanks for your assistance and the tip on updating the Image column with Power Automate!
