Is there a way to add images to a custom form?

I have a custom form we would like to create, and a few of the questions have 3 images I would like to include as options. I checked all the form fields and it does not look possible, but I thought I would ask here to see if anything had found a way. Thanks hive!

Hi Kelly,

It is possible to show images in lists, but on a custom form, the closest workaround is to use a descriptive text parameter (e.g. "Related Image"), which -- although it won't support an embedded image such as this:

<iframe src="https://giphy.com/embed/xT5LMQ8rHYTDGFG07e" width="480" height="366" frameBorder="0" class="giphy-embed" allowFullScreen></iframe><p><a href="https://giphy.com/gifs/season-3-the-simpsons-3x11-xT5LMQ8rHYTDGFG07e">via GIPHY</a></p>

you can at least set the text to "Copy and paste the following link to see the image: https://giphy.com/gifs/season-3-the-simpsons-3x11-xT5LMQ8rHYTDGFG07e", or (in case it suits your workflow), you could also paste it (or "them") into the description of the object in question (e.g. Project, Task, Issue, etc.) which -- perhaps a happy oversight -- is the one place will render the link as clickable.

Regards,

Doug

I know you can use emojis as options (such as 😀😩😓🔴) but images are not supported yet.

As much as I love and use a well placed emoji 😁 , we're trying to steer clear of that in WF 😥 .
