View image in confluence database

[Amelia Fraczkowski]

Now that the field type, "Image", is now available and can be inserted (unfortunately only selecting an image but not by pasting for e.g., a screenshot as is with tables), how does one actually view the image now stored in the image field while in the table view? The only option when clicking on the cell is to change the image but nothing more. 

In card view, it is possible to see the image bigger when the card is selected but I was just wondering if it was also possible to see the image in table view because this is more useful for my use case.

Hi @Amelia Fraczkowski - 

Great ask and i can get your business need in this.

However, it is not possible for viewing images directly within table cells in table view.

Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
Thank you very much and have a great one!

Warm regards

We have a weekly confluence document where I add image stats and I thought this image feature would solve but not being able to actually enlarge the image is a problem. Will it become a feature or should I find another way to do this?

Essentially, I want a view to get last weeks screenshot and compare with this week, without having to manually get the screenshot from the previous document. For more context, it's for Sentry figures on our error count from projects.

Hi @Ryan Pluckrose  I had a look at databases today and this problem is solved in the table view where you can click on the 3 dots to enlarge the image. Not sure when this functionality was added but perhaps this would solve your problem.

yes! That's all I needed, thank you for letting me know!
