the croppie plugin always you to use dynamic data to change and save the name of the file as it appears in the file manager and therefore the URL of the image.
Also, you can save the link, as well as file size and a few other data points on the image, plus crop it. I’ve been using the plugin for the last week or less and feel it is the best plugin I came across so far.
I’d check out the thread as it doesn’t require regex and is therefore easier in the no-code environment. I personally have no idea what is going on with regex.
