We are using a custom field as a thumbnail. Currently the field type is set to TEXT INPUT. This is because of a migration in the past that couldn’t be prevented.

We now upload the thumbnail via the “file chooser” icon under this field.

Format that appears in the field after uploading:

Problem: We really want to set this custom field to fieldtype “FILE”, but when I change it the output in the templates is EMPTY.

I checked the database and the value is still there:

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| field_id_23                                                                       |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

My question is: why isn’t this field shown when type is set to file? I really need to set this field to FILE.

Thanks

nobody?
