Hi guys,

I'm trying to figure out how to pull a colour image through via a drop down menu on the data entry form but having trouble making it work. I seem to be able to only have one record picker drop down menu which is being used for the drop down menu of the different products we have. 

Here is my goal and some images for reference -

This is what im trying to achieve: 

This is the drop down menu with the options im hoping to link to the colour images:

 

This is where im trying to place it but having no luck in being able to pull the actual images through or link the images to the drop down menu:

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated as its the last thing i need to do before the label system is ready to go and under heavy pressure from the directors to make this happen. 

 

Thanks!

  Hi Dean,

  As the name is coming from a drop down list you need to add the image on as A Get File Name from Data Source and set the path to where your images are saved. Next adjust the Data Source to Object Name and link to the text field on the label that will display the colour. On the transforms tab, give the data string a .png suffix to match your image type and I would suggest replacing any gaps/spaces in the your picture file names with an Underscore, for example, and configure a Search and Replace routine for this image field to replace the spaces with underscores to match.
