Hey everyone, do you please know if it is possible to open the camera via app and take a photo for the record? I am not sure if it asks the user when adding an image from the phone gallery to decide or if you need to do it differently. Thank you.

Hello @Tommen

You have to add an image collection in the property (which property you want to save the record)

then take a form where you’ll get the image option called “Choose Photo”

here you’ll get a camera or image gallery option
