Hello, Doug,
We have introduced objTypes field for custom forms, that you can use to assign multiple object types to the form.
Also we there is a new field for Parameter object called 'fieldDefinition' that you can use to create an image by providing 'fieldType' and 'url' attributes, for example:
"fieldDefinition": {
"fieldType":"image",
"url":"https://cc-prod.scene7.com/is/image/CCProdAuthor/dt_ps_us_pod2_968x552?$pjpeg$&jpegSize=200&wid=801"
}
These updates will be available with API v15.0.

Thank you @Lilit Mkrtchyan‚

Is there a standard process to embed an image from a Workfront folder? Not everyone has access to a https folder to house images. In fact, a LOT of organizations have rules against that.
Embedding images from a Workfront Documents folder would be optimum and allow the vast majority of users to use this feature.

Images embedded within custom forms will need to live within the WF environment or it's a no-go for us as well.

Hi, all,
You can embed images uploaded to Workfront folders. You can upload the image in Documents area, click the document name to open the image itself and then use that image url in the custom form. Please make sure to share the document properly so that your users can view it when you embed it in the form.
Thanks!
I'm trying to test, but the Documents area won't come-up in Preview for me. Going to create a ticket.

Just clicking on the name of the image file results in a "amazonaws" URL that will expire.
I think we need an easy way to get the Workfront URL:

Great point, Randy. This is the first phase of our updates, and we're planning further enhancements for adding/uploading documents in the form builder, as well as in custom data by end users, so there will be better and easier ways to add images to your custom data.
Thanks!

This is a great addition to Workfront and one that should save us a lot of time.
Can you please elaborate on how we will be able to convert custom forms to a single form to be used over multiple objects? We are going through an audit of our forms this year and this should help with the cleanup.
Thank you.

Hi, Jonathan,
If you go to Preview and edit one of your custom forms, at the top of the Edit Form screen you can add additional object types, after which you can attach the form to those objects in your system.
Thanks!
