Hi there,
I was wondering if there was a way to render a fallback image for a dashboard. Basically, my use case is that I’d like to display an image of the sensor provided by the customer. If no image exists, then I’d display a “No Image Available” image (as opposed to a block render error).
One idea I had was to add a tag to the devices that specified the path to the image. I could then set this `imagePath` to the fallback image if none other existed. However, I don’t think I can use a context variable to pass this down as the user would have to pass the path in – ideally I just want to use the value of this tag depending on the image selected. Any thoughts? Thanks!

I think what you are looking for is the [`{{defaultTo}}` helper](https://docs.losant.com/workflows/accessing-payload-data/#defaultto-val-default).
If you are storing the URLs on a device tag called “imageUrl”, you could reference that value through a device context variable (called “deviceId” in this example):
```hb
{{ctx.deviceId.tags.imageUrl}}
```
Then, fall back to a default image of your choice if that value is not set:
```hb
{{defaultTo ctx.deviceId.tags.imageUrl 'https://placekitten.com/640/640'}}
```
