File Upload as field - what happens to the file name?

Hi,

I’m uploading a file to a ui-only field to hold it until after record creation and then associate it. All works fine - except, I can’t capture the original file name.

When using the ‘save to model’ option, where does the field name go? Is there a merge syntax like something in previousaction that might have it? could it be parsed from the data in the field?

Thanks!

Paul

FYI support responded - if you load to a field, you lose the name. No way to capture it. Would love to see that exposed in a future version…

Hey @Paul,

Thanks for letting us know and I will submit a feature request for the team to look at to see if this can be implemented in a future release.
