GetContainerAttribute ( sideA FULL IMAGE ; "filename")

I have a popover with two panels. Both have container fields for images stored external.

I'd like to capture the filename saved as and thought this would work. I'm not getting expected results. I've put this into my IMAGE NAME field as auto enter calculation assuming it'll populate when I add the full size image to container.

  1. What do you expect?
  2. What is the actual result that you get?

  1. Did you deselect the "Do not replace existing value" option?
  2. What do you see in the Data Viewer when using the same formula?
  3. Why aren't you using a calculation field?

  1. What do you expect?  THE NAME OF THE IMAGE AS PER THE FILENAME
  2. What is the actual result that you get? NOTHING.
  1. Did you deselect the "Do not replace existing value" option? DID NOT SEE THE OPTION; ONLY OPTION CHECK IS WHETHER TO EVALUATE IF REFERENCED FIELD ARE EMPTY.
  2. What do you see in the Data Viewer when using the same formula? I'VE NOT USED THIS BEFORE. COPIED IN EXPRESSION THEN WATCH WHEN I ADD IMAGE?
  3. Why aren't you using a calculation field? EXPERIMENTAL IDEA GONE WRONG.

Yes. Or just watch the result when you are on a record that already has an image in the sideA FULL IMAGE field.

So are you getting the expected result after changing the field to a calculation field?

The checkbox is checked. (The field is empty of any previous attempts)

Data Viewer shows correct results. Field shows "?". Both existing and new insert

The checkbox should be unchecked. Otherwise the field will populate once at record creation (while the container field is still empty) and never change its value  again. But IMHO you should be using a Calculation field instead, where this problem does not exist. Use auto-entered calculations when you have a special reason - such as allowing the user to override the result.

Make sure that the result type is Text.
