In Coda, if you use a lookup table on a text field you can click + and create a new text entry, but if you are using a lookup for images (and I imagine attachments when we get those) there is no + button to upload new images. The problem I have is that I will have an unknown amount of jpegs at the time creating a row, and having to navigate to a completely separate table, upload the images, and then find them on the original table is prohibitive. I could create 10 spaces for photos just in case, but even if I did, there is always the off chance that I will need 11. (even though that is highly unlikely) Is there a way to create a new image within a lookup, or hold multiple images within one table column? Is this a solved problem? ---

Hi @Andrew_Adkins, i was pretty sure that one could upload as many pictures as he wanted (ok maybe not 1000+, but a reasonable amount) in just one cell, if the column type is “image”, i’ll check if something have changed… Check this in the meantime > [@Launched: New Image Column Type is now available](https://connect.superhuman.com/t/launched-new-image-column-type-is-now-available/6595): > > If you are following our tweets (@coda\_hq) the news is out! We just made it easier to ADD IMAGES to your Coda tables - now you can drag and drop into cells, or upload images directly from the cell itself into a new image column type. [[image] ](https://d2ddoduugvun08.cloudfront.net/items/2Q3M123O2Q1o2m0J460N/Image%202019-02-25%20at%206.49.36%20PM.png) Multiple images: We didn’t stop there. We also support adding more than one image to a single cell. When you open any image you can easily scroll through all the full size images in the same cell for more detai… Updates: yeah i’ve checked you can still upload multiple picture per cell, so yeah there is a “+” buttons, are you sure you can’t find it? 😁 ---

Thanks Mario. Wow, you are correct. No other field works that way, so I did not expect the image (singular) field to work any different. My expectation: To get this functionality you must create a table of images, create a lookup column on your main table connected to the table of images, insert images into that lookup. The reality: You can just create a image column and add as many images as you like. I completely missed this functionality. They should rename the column type to Images instead of Image. New problem: Now I need to solve for the memory issue. Coda won’t like it after 2 years when I have 10GB + of images and pdf’s. So hopefully they allow me to use my own cloud storage in the future WITHOUT needing to navigate to another service, save a file, and then navigate back and paste in a URL which is a nightmare.
