Fixing Missing MultiTV Image Previews in the Manager

If MultiTV values are saved but the preview images are missing in the manager, the problem is usually in field configuration or path handling, not in the stored data itself.

MultiTV often works perfectly at the data level while still looking broken in the manager. One common example is saved image data that refuses to show a visual preview.

Why This Happens

The preview layer depends on more than the raw stored value. It also depends on:

  • the configured field type
  • the stored path format
  • the preview template or widget logic
  • manager-side access to the actual file

What to Check First

  • whether the image path is absolute or relative in the expected way
  • whether the file is publicly reachable from the manager context
  • whether the field is configured as an image-capable preview source
  • whether cached manager assets need to be refreshed

The practical rule is simple: if the stored value exists but the thumbnail does not, debug the preview pipeline, not the save step.
