Hello. You mean on the dropdown itself on the list that shows on a per item basis?

E.g. 

<img src=''></img> Item1

<img src=''></img> Item2

Hmmmm. This is interesting!

We need to check on this...

Well I think the set_relation function won't help you with this!

I believe you need to make your own set_relation by extending the library or make your own model and generate the dropdown yourself programmaticaly along with some js magic.

Thanks for the feedback davidoster. I ended up using callback_field instead. Then manually loading a query inside the callback.

 

For the front end I used this plugin (Im still open to suggestion for a similar type of plugin): http://egg.liam-galvin.co.uk/?p=demo_imagedropdown

 

The idea is create a link to the media table, rather than using field upload.

 

Hope this can be implemented GC.

 

Cheers!
