Bricks 1.12 components - connecting a background image?

I had a quick question in regard to the new Bricks version and components.

I was playing with components and seems straight forward (great add on BTW) but I can’t figure out how to connect a background image? I have created a card with a background image, heading, text, and button just for experimenting and it has all been a very easy process to create the component, create the properties and connect them EXCEPT the background image. I can’t figure it out, connecting an image is easy but the background image does not give you the option to connect the property… I’m sure there is an easy answer but if someone could point me in the direction it would be great!

I’m having the same issue. There doesn’t seem to be any way to apply the image to a background, and this would be really useful to make it easier for end users.

Is there any way of using dynamic data or anything like that to access the Component values? or even accessing the image through PHP?

Components are still limited. They cannot be connected to CSS properties at the moment. Background image is a CSS property, unless you do a background image using a proper image element which can be connected to the existing image property.

You can learn how to make an image behave like a background image in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYEkeTDckQw
