Allow thumbnail to be shown in task list (on a project) for documents uploaded to a task

Description - Allow thumbnail to be shown in task list (on a project) for documents uploaded to a task

Why is this feature important to you - Since Workfront is not supporting bulk editing, bulk approval, etc. on documents, we are using tasks to represent each document on a project. That way, we can bulk edit / approve documents. Each task has one document attached to it, the issue is that there is no option to allow thumbnail to be shown for documents uploaded to that task. 

How would you like the feature to work - Ideally, a document thumbnail would be available in a project view for tasks. E.g. on https://customer.my.workfront.com/project/XYZ123/tasks view the thumbnail would be available and a preview image of the document attached to that task would be shown. I assume that if there are multiple images uploaded on a document, just one random would be shown or none - that depend's on Adobe's ability to implement this function, but if there is just 1 document uploaded, it should work. 

Current Behaviour - Currently, we are using text mode to display the image but this is not working as the dynamic URL breaks. We have a custom field on a task custom form that is driving the URL of the image, but this breaks as the image URL is dynamic. The URL we are using is https://customer.my.workfront.com/internal/document/preview?versionID=6639ebfb0019bf6e33398b2cdc3054... which should display the image, but this URL is resolved to https://wf-prod-customer-docs-emea.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/ which breaks the image. 

 

For reference, here is a piece of text mode we are using to currently show the image via custom field (DE:Asset Preview URL) which has the image URL. This is unfortunately not working due to reasons described above.

 

displayname=Asset Preview
image.name=Asset Preview (click for full size)
image.valuefield=DE:Asset Preview URL
link.isnewwindow=true
link.url=DE:Asset Preview URL
textmode=true
type=image
valuefield=Asset Preview URL
