I believe the avatar field is just a single file field, no? Has it also been updated / is it planned to be updated with the new Files updates?

I don’t personally use it much, but didn’t read about it anywhere recently so was wondering if it was thought about.

Thanks!

Maybe a “Display as → Avatar” option for single file fields.

As well as the ability to convert an avatar field into a file field? Not sure. Just pointing out the fact they are quite similar but act very differently right now.

Great questions.

I think it has relation to this feature request as well: [Easy way to view Avatar Field image in large size and Download it](https://community.fibery.io/t/easy-way-to-view-avatar-field-image-in-large-size-and-download-it/8050)

I’m using avatar for CRM, Company Logo and Client Photo. However, there’s no way to download the avatar file easily.

Hey!

Pinging this. It’s possible to update a file field in automation, but not update the avatar field using automation. Where they (i think) should be the same thing under the hood, no?

Maybe it’s planned, but I just bumped into this issue again.
