Impossible to store an image uploaded by the user in an app state

Has your issue been reported?

• I have searched the existing issues and confirm it has not been reported.
• I give permission for members of the FlutterFlow team to access and test my project for the sole purpose of investigating this issue.

Current Behavior

When I create an action to upload an image, then try to save this image in an app state, this is impossible. The message I get is: current variable is not valid. If this isn't a bug, how can I store an uploaded image in an app state to avoid going through firebase?

Expected Behavior

Store an image uploaded by the user in an app state

Steps to Reproduce

Add a component to upload an image
Create an action in which you try to store this file (widget state) in an app state

Reproducible from Blank

• The steps to reproduce above start from a blank project.

FlutterFlow currently does not support storing local image in the app state and also showing it through the image widget officially, So I am considering this as a feature request!

Hi @paulai75000, it looks like you're trying to set it to an ImagePath but when you upload a file locally it results in an UploadedFile, which is what you should be using instead. As @SameerShahzad99 you previously could not show an image from local bytes but now you can do that as well! 🙂
