Adding images to a form that shows up in an easy way to view
Hello,
We are planning to have a holiday contest where people will upload photos of Gingerbread houses to be put up to a vote. We plan to have people submit through the form and attach an image. But the image only shows in the attachment on the side. People cannot view it automatically.
After all the submissions are in, we want the rest of the company to view all of the submitted photos. Is there a way to show these photos automatically without having to download the photo and then inserting the images manually?
We want to have a resource for people to see all of the photos easily, but don't want to spend a lot of time organizing, copying and pasting the photos.
Thanks for any help,
Marcel

Hi
I asked for this as well as otherwise you have to give someone access to the sheet instead of pasting the image into the form that you can do when in the sheet. Might be worth asking for this as a feature request so the more people request it, hopefully the higher it goes onto the backlog for consideration.
Thanks

Hi Marcel,
While I cannot think of an easy way other than the users having the Comments bar opened and navigating through one row at a time, there is definitely a way to achieve this via the Smartsheet API.. but I guess it depends on how much effort you are willing to put into this..
You could use a combination of
GET /sheets/{sheetId}/attachments
and
POST /sheets/{sheetId}/rows/{rowId}/columns/{columnId}/cellimages
in order to retrieve the attachment images and so it adds them as a cell image in a column instead.
I'd be happy to help provide a more detailed scripts if you do want to go down the API road..
Hope this helps.
