Hi,
we can configure multi line fields to allow pasting images in rich text mode. While I don't like it from a technical perspective the users like it. My issue with the current solution is, that the users can copy images from websites and the browsers copy the HTML instead of the image. This is great from a disk space perspective, it's bad from an audit trail perspective. If the source get's removed, the image is lost.
In our case this is particularly bad because these images will be embedded in a generated document.
I added now a validate action to ensure that the fields contain no linked images.
While this is a workaround it would be better to have a configuration option which allows using linked images in addition to embedded (base64 encoded) ones. The default option should be false, so that the users have to actively enable this option as it may cause issues with the audit trail.
It would even be better, if the embedded images are stored as hidden attachments, so that we save disk space when creating multiple versions for the same workflow instance.
Best regards,
Daniel
