Image copy paste is not saving the image in SharePoint MultiLine Textbox (Enhanced RichText) field

We have a SharePoint list column, MultiLine with enhanced richtext. Trying to add an item to this list where we copy pasted the Image in MultiLine field.

But after saving the details, the image is not visible. When we checked the html, it has "img tag with src as empty".

Any suggestions to achieve image copy paste in "SharePoint Multiline with Enhanced Richtext" column?

Up to 10 attachments (including images) can be used with a maximum of 3.0 MiB each and 30.0 MiB total.

How is this still not available? This is basic functionality and I see people have been asking for it since 2016. Users need to be able to just copy and paste in screenshots and not have to save them somewhere first. MS adds in a lot of cool features for online, but when you can't do basic functionality, it's hard to get users (and management) interested in using SharePoint.

Hi @RahiniRadhaAP-8408,

Per my test, we can copy and paste images from internet(not local folder) to Multiple line enhanced rich text field:

We can also copy and paste the picture that has stored in the SharePoint asserts library, however we cannot copy images from local directly to enhanced rich text field.

Where and how did you copy and paste images? if possible, please provide more details.

It's a shame and almost comical that such a basic feature isn't supported yet by SharePoint. You could easily paste any image into a Lotus Notes rich text field, both local and remote, well over 20 years ago. It was common practice for easily creating knowledge articles and technotes.

How SharePoint ever managed to overpower Lotus Notes/Domino to become the predominant corporate "knowledge management" tool, is a mystery I will never understand. It's like we regressed back in capability to what was possible years earlier.

Thanks Bill Gates for your exlemplary marketing and monopolization skills. Just a testament to how the best product is not necessarily the market choice.
