Hello
I followed Thunkable’s tutorials on creating block that can take photo using device’s camera and uploads it to Cloudinary. And everything seems right, works good in live testing, I can see the photo in cloudinary assets, it is displayed in image block, but whenever I exit the screen and come back to it, the photo is gone. I have to take the photo again.
I am total beginner, haven’t made any app ever. I’m working on a simple app for my friend’s party, so she could take photos thorought the event and keep them in the app as a souvenir. So I need all of the photos to stay where they were uploaded. Can anyone help with always keeping photos?

The last block… you don’t want URL from photo remove that block and add photo only

You’ll need to set a stored variable to the url from the uploaded file [photo] and then set the Image’s Picture to that variable when the screen opens.

So I’m not sure if I did it all correctly but it works??
The only weird thing is that photo isn’t visible immediately, but only after extiting screen and coming back. But whatever, that’ll work! Hahaha
Thank you so much, smart internet people! \<3

duplicate that block from screen open underneath where you are storing variable…
Meaning after you take a picture store variable and then ADD change picture.
