KB31368: HTML references to images in an attribute form do not render in Flash Mode for MicroStrategy Web 9.4.1 and above.

SYMPTOM:
HTML references to images in an attribute form do not render in Flash Mode in Strategy Web 9.4.1 and above.
 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE

• Create an attribute with an attribute form containing reference to an image using an ApplySimple statement as shown below:
   
   

•  
  

  
  Sample Code/Error
  ApplySimple("'<img src=http://localhost/Strategy/images/1.jpg>'")

  
  
• Place the above attribute in a report and include this report in a document.
• Notice the image is rendered correctly in Interactive View mode when the grid is placed in the detail header section, as shown below: 
   
  

• However, in Flash mode the images are not rendered:
   
   

CAUSE:
This behavior is working as designed in Strategy. Strategy does not support HTML referenced images in Flash view mode.
ACTION:
The attribute needs to be configured to use image data form type for the specific image attribute form. This is the only data type that will display images in flash mode at this moment. Do not forget to update the schema after this change is applied.
