Currently, we can not see the avatar of entities in the table view. But the avatar are visible for linked items. It would be great if we could have a column to turn it.
Iām not sure what you mean @nimesh
When I have an entity with the Assignments and Avatar extensions enabled, I can choose to see the avatar of the assigned user in table view.

I hope this can help in better understanding it.
It would be more visually appealing as well. Also, we could add some emojis as an avatar, it would be even interesting
So do you mean that each entity should be able to have itās own icon/symbol?

To be exact, if we have avatar extension enabled, we should have the option to make it visible in a column.

Sorry, i get it now. Nice suggestion.
There is a cheeky workaround if itās really important to you: define a āhelperā type that links in a one-to-one relationship to the type youāre originally working with. Then define a lookup field from the āhelperā relationship back to the original type. For each original entity, create and link a new dummy entity of the helper type, and the lookup column will now show the original entityās avatar and name.

I donāt know if this is the relevant place to ask, but thereās no way to make an āiconā field get displayed as an āavatarā, right?
I want to see just a state fieldās icon on an entity, but it seems like the icon only gets displayed in conjunction with the ānameā field. I was hoping the icon field would be treated similarly to the āavatarā field where it could be displayed independently.
