Thumbnails on new mobile forms

Has anyone figured out if there is a way to show a thumbnail for an attachment on new mobile forms? There are a couple different ways to use formula rich text fields to show a thumbnail, but as near as I can tell this only works on desktop or legacy mobile. Curious if this is just a limitation of the new mobile, or if someone has figured out a solution.

    Are new mobile forms just the new form on mobile? If so, I have an attachment field and when I upload an image there, in view mode it shows the image as a thumbnail on its own, no formula needed. I can even click/tap it and it opens a modal.

      I meant if you are looking at a table report. If you are looking at a report, the file field will not show a thumbnail, you must use a formula rich text field. However, I did figure out that throughout the years, people have posted a number of formulas for thumbnails. As it turns out, most work on new mobile forms, except for one. Of course, I was trying the one exception to the rule. The rest seem to work fine. Here is one example. https://www.quickbase.com/db/main?a=UniversalLink&entityId=qbredir&asset=image-preview
