v8.1.22 perspective, I noticed this in a previous version of perspective as well. Not sure if it something I am doing wrong, but when I use the Image component, I open Image Management, and do a copy path on the image I want displayed, then paste it into the source prop of the image component. This seems to do nothing. the only way I am able to get the image onto my view is to actually drag the image from my PC file explorer onto the view.

You need to add the prefix `system/images` to the path copied from image management, to make a valid path on Ignition's webserver.
