Is it possible to put multiple product pictures in one container field and have it act as a kind of slideshow where the pics change every x seconds for example? If so, how please. Thank you.

No*. However, it is possible to add a Pictures table and make it related to the Products table - thus each product can have multiple related picture records, each holding one picture.

You could install an OnTimer script to rotate the related pictures in a global container field. This could be an adequate solution if your purpose is to merely browse the products; I am not sure how much this would interfere if you actually tried to do some actual work at the same time. A better solution might be to use a web viewer - see for example: https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/how-to-create-a-slideshow/

(*) Well, actually yes (sort of), if you make it a repeating field. But that's difficult to manage when you need (as you do for the slide show part) an easy way to get and count only the populated repetitions. And it puts a cap on the number of pictures you can have.
