A related issue is this: https://github.com/FLEXIcontent/flexicontent-cck/issues/34

about creating an

• image field in INTRO / FULL mode (and assigning it to ALL or to SOME types)

will add this as a post install task, here is how to make it work properly without need for user actions

On visiting FC dashboard:

1. Check if INTRO / FULL images is enabled in com_content configuration (backend of frontend)
2. If it is enabled and field is missinge then create the field
3. Then check types configuration for same parameter, that either USES JOOMLA DEFAULT SETTING or forces this to be ON / OFF, for those types that have this enabled assigned the field to them

done
