Solved: OCRTEXT fails with relative image paths - Page 2

Bahbus · 06-05-2020 11:11 AM

I have images saved in a separate folder and tied to my data using relative paths:

Trying to use OCRTEXT() in a VC on this image field returns nothing. These same pictures work fine in the OCR Demo when being directly added to a form. Is this a known issue, or unintended?

These images otherwise display normally within AppSheet and there are no other issues.

This is correct, OCRTEXT will only work when evaluated inside a form. Virtual Columns with an OCRTEXT app formula do not currently work. This is on our todo list.
