Header Image in Next Gen Form Builder

I have noticed that the header image option is currently absent in the Next Gen Form Builder. This feature was a useful tool for customizing the appearance of donation forms.
Therefore, I would like to request clarification on whether the header image option will be returning to the plugin in the definitive version. If there is an alternative method to achieve a similar result, it would be helpful to know.

Hey folks! GiveWP version 3.5.0 includes a header image for the Visual Donation Form Builder. When you update GiveWP, you can find the header image settings in the Design area when you edit any form you create with the Visual Form Builder.
Also, form migration now includes header image, so you can keep your header image when migrating forms.

The new form builder doesn't allow images. The only way I've found to add an image is to use the Stripe add on, but since I don't use Stripe, that isn't helpful. If we're forced to only use the new form builder without pictures we'll have to look for a new donation form provider. Overall this "update" seems to be poorly tested in regards to what the users want.

I was using Advanced Custom Fields to add some custom content but AFC doesn't work with the new version so and image block would be very helpful, especially since my client doesn't know HTML and CSS.

We've managed to use the HTML block to get images into the form builder, but better native support would be a plus.

Ansar: I'm sorry if my comment appeared aggressive. That was not my intent. I was simply passing on the comment received from my team.

Greetings!
Yes! We're going to be adding header images in a new way, but it is planned.
To give you some insight, when working on the new form system we wanted to make designs _very_ flexible. People do really creative things with forms and we want to make that as easy as possible. A new feature we're exploring is "Form Design Settings". Meaning, when you select a specific Form Design that design may have its own unique settings: images, videos, colors, text, etc.
Thanks for the feedback!

Do you mean the feature image? If so, yes we need it to. Currently our form overview looks like this:)
In the same vein: I hope that the form Descriptions + Meta + Excerpts etc come back

Rik: I believe you're referring to the Form Grid here and, yes, we're planning on getting compatibility in place so the new forms will show up nicely with an image and description. 👍

Jason Adams: has there been an update already for the Form Grid? I can't find any setting in the new builder to set an image, so the Form Grid still shows only a title and a button.
