How do I add an image to my automation?

Hello, I am trying to set an automation in my iPad’s Shortcuts app to set my wallpaper to a particular image at particular times of day. However, when I try to set it, I can’t seem to figure out how to add an image. When I click the image input, I get the following options: Clipboard, Current Date, and Device Details. Anyone know how I can navigate around this?

macaocon ~ This should work... Open the Files app and drag your image into iCloud Drive's Shortcuts folder. Then in your shortcut, right before the Set action, put a "Get file from <Shortcuts>" action. Then the Set action should now be configurable to that image file. Or you could look at the wallpaper shortcuts here for ideas on how to do it:
