Re-name .jpg image in SharePoint document library

Hi Shaun,

the "update document" action is only for updating content INSIDE of word documents. What you want to do can be achieved using the "update item" action.

Presuming you are using a site workflow, it could be done like this:

1. Query your images library ("Query list" action) and save all IDs to a collection variable

2. Use a "For each" to loop through all of your IDs and save single ID in new single line of text variable

3. Use "Update item" to update the name of the current file

Complete workflow should now look like this:

Hope this helps. Let us know if you need further assistance.

Thanks Philipp! Worked perfectly

Hi Akshay,

you can update the "Name" column but the error occurs as soon as you try to insert a date in the name. I even tried to use the "Calculate date" action and store the date as ISO string but that didn't work either. I think its due to special characters in the timestamp (e. g. the colon) that are not allowed to use in file names.

However if you just need some unique name you can update the file name using the current item id which is - of course - unique for every item in your library.

This works for me:

If you need some sort of timestamp included in your filename you would have to create a string dpeending on the current date manually. Using the "Build string" action with its inline function "fn-formatDate" should help you.

You do NOT need to set the file extension (e. g. ".jpg") yourself, SharePoint will handle this for you.
