Hi folks, is this possible?:
I am using Tap Forms for my astronomy hobby.
Every object in the sky lives in a constellation. Think of the constellations as the 50 states.
I have a record of an object I want to observe with my telescope.
In this form I also I have a field of which constellation this object lives in. (see attached)
Can Tap Forms automatically populate a picture field of the constellation’s chart based on which constellation I’ve chosen in the field?

I figured out a better way with related fields.
Hi Chris,
That’s a cool use for Tap Forms!
I took astronomy in university. It was one of my favourite courses.
Although you’ve figured out another way to do what you want, your original question could be answered with a script to fetch an image from somewhere and populate the image in your form. If you had a folder on disk with photos in it, you could write a script to add a photo to your field from a URL using record.addPhotoFromUrlToField(url, field_id); You could set the photo field empty before adding a photo to it, otherwise you’d get multiple photos in the field.
Anyway, just thought I’d chime in with this bit.
Thanks!
Brendan
