Image parameter in note block

Hi, I have a generic annotation for finishes and we want to add an image parameter to show in the note block. Is this possible? Every time I try to add this parameter to the family the parameter is greyed out in the project. Is there a trick? Maybe @RDAOU knows?

The Image won't show in the Schedule itself, but when you place the Schedule on a Sheet the Image will show up.

When you select an Image cell, does the "..." show?

Hey @barthbradley, Nice lawn gnome schedule. 😂 I learned about the placement on sheet trick, it's not that. When I try to edit the image parameter either in the family or through the schedule it won't let me. Did you use a shared parameter for your image parameter? 

 

Edit: I just tried to create a brand new test annotation with an image parameter (non shared) and have the same results. Image field is greyed out. I'm not sure how you got cheeks into your schedule. Is this an annotation and a note block?

Ok I just learned I can add these pictures in to the types in the family editor but not in the project. In the example below I created A and B in the family but duplicated B and created C in the project. C adopted B's image and is uneditabble in the project. Kind of a weird limitation. Not one I've seen. I don't think this will work in practice with a multi person team.
