Hello Team,
I have another inquery/request: This time it concerns the names of files that are uploaded via the Advanced File Upload field.
Currently, these files are given a random sequence of numbers in addition to the original file name (e.g., 12345678-originalfilename.pdf).
This is quite irritating, especially since the sequence of numbers is appended to the front of the original file name, which makes it confusing when theses files are attached to a notification email.
So, my question is:
Is it possible to place the appended sequence after the original file name, for example, originalfilename-12345678.pdf?
Or even better:
Could you introduce an additional feature that allows the names of files uploaded via the Advanced File Upload field to be modified dynamically based on entries in other form fields (smart Tags)?
Example for a use case: Someone uploads a resume in PDF format to an application form. Since the applicant’s name is usually ask for anyway, it would be great if you could use the entries from name field to rename the uploaded file, which may have an incomprehensible file name to begin with. This way it would be possible to rename the uploaded file to something like this: {firstname}-{lastname}-resume.pdf.
If this were possible, the file names of uploaded resumes could be formatted exactly as required by a company’s HR department (in my experience, HR departments still work a lot with PDF files, which is why standardized file names are often used for archiving).
I think this use case would be just one of many possible ones.
Thankfully, you have already introduced this feature for PDF email attachments that are generated from form entries (this feature). For file uploads, this does not seem to be possible yet, but it would be really useful.
What do you think?
Thank you very much in advance and best regards
