Is anyone else's piped text from loop and merge not parsing correctly?

I've got some very simple HTML: `<img src="${lm://Field/1}">` but when I check the survey, the link isn't being piped as it should be. At one point we got it to try the URL, but it stripped out the "/" and replaced them with spaces, which obviously broke the URL. We saw this by inspecting it in the browser and instead of `src=(unknown)` it gave us the stripped URL. However, all of the other times it seems like it's splitting the `${lm://Field/1}` bit on the last "/" because it's showing the broken image icon with the alt text set to `<img src(unknown) alt=1} data-image-state="ready">` upon inspection in the rendered page. I've tried everything I can think of, `<div>`s with CSS, jQuery, etc, and all of them return the URL string correctly when it's not part of `<img src=...>` but breaks in there. It happens with every URL, whether it's from the graphics library or a third party site.

Post your urls (e.g., an image of your loop & merge setup)

! Thanks for the response. We have 5 blocks with 200 images in each one. They're all sitting in this same S3 bucket which is public and the link displays the image when viewed in a browser. At the bottom of the loop & merge setup we've checked the randomise option and are showing 10 to each respondent.

When I tried to view the image for some of them I got something like the following instead of seeing the image: !

Hmm, that's odd. I'll have to look into that as well then. I just got it to work, but only by removing the constant bit at the beginning of the URLs (https://dssurveyimages..../pref/) and only keeping the unique image name at the end. Then the constant https://... prefix has to go into the image tag before the image name coming from the loop & merge. i.e. `<img src=https.../${lm://Field/2}>` It seems that it won't pipe it correctly when it's a complete URL. 🤷‍♂️
