HOWTO attach an image (i.e a digital signature) to a document and display it as soon as user uploads the image

Just documenting this in case it will helps someone else…

I’m using this for digital signature on purchase orders (not electronic signature as in electronic records, electronic signatures - but just a “digitized signature”). Anyway here we go…

  1. Create an “Attach Image” field…

  1. Create "an “Image” field below it…

  1. edit the “Image” field and add

read only
Options: [name of “attach image” field] (in my case image_upload1)
Fetch From: [name of “attach image” field] (in my case image_upload1)

Looks like this…

Now I create a new record for the doctype (my test doctype is “truck”)…

First / creating record entry, there will be no signatures/signers yet…

now I go back into the record again (i.e. as a purchaser order signer/approver would during an approval workflow)…

I click attach…

As soon as I upload my image, it is displayed…

Save record and done.
