Image Choice Field

Summary

The Image Choice field allows you to display images as choices in a single or multi-select field within a form. It includes different styles, such as a card style and shape customization options for the Orbital theme. The field contains similar options as the Multiple Choice field, with options to enable or disable multiple selections.

Note: When uploading a new image using the Image Choice field, it will be cropped and set to an aspect ratio of 1:1. If using images that are already in the media library or they are not uploaded with the Image Choice field UI, you will need to use a WordPress plugin to resize existing images.

Note: When using a choice-based field type and your choice labels contain any HTML or special characters such as ampersands, commas, pipes, hyphens, or brackets of any type, you MUST enable the show values feature and give each choice a simple and unique value which does not contain any special characters. Failure to configure values could cause issues for features such as calculations, conditional logic, dynamic population, and validation. The value for each choice must be unique in any case, even if you’re not using HTML or special characters for the choice labels.
