Hey everyone, I'm looking for a way to display multiple thumbnail images in one field on a parent record. So one parent record may have two or three child record image files, and I want to be able to show them as a small gallery of images on their parent record. This is for a table view of those parent records to it's important to me to be able to get them all into one field.
Thank you for any help! I know how to show a single image file as a thumbnail on its own but I'm having a tougher time figuring this one out.

Gallery of thumbnails from child records?

I think that this is easy. You already have a formula Rich Text field on the children to display the Thumbnail.
Make a formula field text field called [Thumbnail in Text format] with the formula just being Rich Text thumbnail field.
Use a Combined Text Summary field to roll up those text Thumbnails to the Parent. We need to do this because I believe that you cannot Summarize a Rich Text field type. ( not 100% sure of that )
Make a formula Rich Text field called [All Thumbnails] on the Parent Record with this formula to remove the semi colon delimiters
SearchAndReplace(ToText([Combined Text Thumbnail in Text format]), ";", "")
... that should work
