Resolution
As a possible workaround, one of the following strategies may allow the images to be displayed.- Host the images online and store the URLs in the database, and then use either image roles (available in Tableau Desktop 2022.4 or later), or a dashboard web object to display the URLs
- Import the image into Tableau Desktop, or reference it via a URL, for use as a background image
- Drop all the images in the \My Tableau Repository\Shapes folder and display them as custom shapes
