[Feature Request] [v7.2] Link Image to Existing File
Version: 7.2
Issue: Each image that get uploaded is added to EspoCRM, this will slowly be an accumulated filesize and file amounts issue slowly over time.
Request: Can choose an old image as the file image/photo.
Reproduce:
1. Create a image field
2. Upload the same image to two different records.
3. Look at file ID/file of the image, they are different ID so it mean that 2 of the same file is created and is uploaded to EspoCRM.
Proposal: We can choose existing image and the record photo/image is link to that upload image, similar to "Documents", instead of creating new file.
User Case:
Records have multiple branch, franchise or business location, for example:
Business A - City 1
Business A - City 2
Business A - City 3
We would want each of these record to have a Logo in their "(Photo) Logo Field", with Logo if they are the same business, then they will share the same logo (in most case). But if we upload each logo for these records, it will be now 3 same images uploaded and it become 3 different files on the data/cache. This mean triple the size. Logo is fairly small in most case (if it PNG or SVG) but it will slowly add up.
Thank you.
