Are you using an external user-backend, if yes which one: LDAP/ActiveDirectory/Webdav/...

I use LDAP to AD-server on this instance but the issue exists on another instance with build-in user management.

I've had this issue for months and reported it in a different thread. I noticed other Nextcloud apps had a similar issue so perhaps there's a similar solution? For example:

https://github.com/nextcloud/collectives/issues/1096 https://github.com/nextcloud/text/pull/5484

I was able to make the attachment show in the description by disabling the Text App. It takes away the Text editor and you'll need to manually write in Markdown, But it is a viable workaround for now. It may help locate the issue.

possibly a duplicate of #5448 ?

I thought that this happened to only old cards, as I saw that first on cards that are ~4 years old - but that is an issue with new cards as well. If I add an attachement for a brand-new card, I see the same error.

Pasting images doesn't work either, even though it works in Notes.

Hi, just installed and testing, but it seems that picture preview attachment problem is affecting me too. It is a big problem for me as this functionality is essential for me. I confirm what @gaje12 has observed - disabling Text app is allowing to see picture, but is killing text editor, so rather not acceptable for longer. The only difference I see is description in my case: "cannot read properties of null (reading: 'resolve')": Client details: self hosted on Ubuntu 22.04, snap package, NC 28.0.8
