How to use media in map tour using feature service?

Question

Hello,

I added my map from featured services but there is no media next to items.

The feature service map was imported from google sheet that contained a field with picture in a cell.

This may be google sheet import problem rather than Map Tour feature issue. I tried adding another column but all the data types are string/int etc. nothing suitable for media or files, so I tried importing media data as URLs but it was not picked up.

Any suggestions how to add media data to the map tour?

Is there a data source that currently imports attachments to featured map?

@povilasid -- Images must be added as feature service attachments to be used in a map tour.

We are considering adding the ability to use a field that contains image URLs as a future enhancement, but we don't yet have this in our plans. If you'd like to see this in a future release, please submit an idea on the Ideas board so others can register their support for this request.
