hello everyone, I keep having the following problem, I saw that there are other discussions already open but none with a useful answer.
in creating a new contact I want to put an image field but every time I insert it this turns out to be a normal text field and not an image. has anyone solved this problem?

Yes, I think I have read about it in the forum.
In v8.x, it displays the image name and when you click on it; it gets downloaded to your system.
It does not have image preview functionality.
I do not know how to add that. 
I think suite8 has not implemented file type field yet. That’s why modules such as documents, notes etc. are displayed as legacy detail views. We may get this in future versions. Or we can implement the field type writing angular code.
If it is a must have , then set the contacts module as legacy in config.
You’re correct! it is not yet implemented in the v8.x. @matix
Also, we need the file data type field in the SuiteCRM, so users can easily add them from the studio:
