I wanted to revisit this topic to see if it's affecting other people.
My use case:
- I have large reference CSVs that contain a list of items and some data about them, plus media filenames
- I want to show these media for reference (via a filtered select and
image&big-imageand tap to enlarge) or deliver them as dynamic images (ideally also with supressed 'take picture' & 'choose image' buttons) for annotation.
Currently in order to do this, I need to also include an unused choice list that includes all the filenames so that Central will request their upload. This means any changes to the reference file also requires a change to the unused choice list, and a form definition update. I may as well put the reference data as a choice list internally and keep updates to only one location, but this removes the modularity of the form design
