Adding files to arguments & follow-up

[ilmartyrk]

Original in fe-old

What is the user story? As a user, I would like to add files to visualize my follow-up messages and arguments. Currently there is no opportunity to add graphics or pictures into the discussion part, but in some cases it is really relevant to visualize your argument with infographics or pictures.

Which feature needs to be updated and how? Text description is not always that accurate as is infographic or picture. In Follow-up phase it would be great to add voting results and any further action (like how the community house building is going) in more visualized matter. In arguments, it´s sometimes needed to show same graphics, figures and numbers in table as a picture or infographic.

Additional information. N/A

Triage 59. Technically possible but we should think through how many pictures we allow to add, in what side. @kevincrepin have you thought about this solution in UX/UI redesign project? Sending it to In prep for further ideatio

@ilmartyrk @ssin1901 Old issue but still relevant and wanted by users (particularly in follow-up phase, though makes sense to enable adding to discussions too I think?). Ilmar I remember you said some of the background work for this is done, so seems like a 'soon' one? Will move it as such

We can follow the logic of how we added images to ideas?

When posting an argument:

How it looks in the arguments:

How it looks in replies:

And for follow-up/action we had this update:

@kevincrepin Looks great! For the 'action' updates, should we also show the image thumbnail preview, or it will get messy if there's a mix of file types?

And for 'action' also, should we do it like this for consistency with the topic attachments update?
