I have a form that uses a full name widget.
I would like to have my files named
LastName- FirstName - (Title) Doe- John - 2024 Room RSVP
I attempted the following tutorial with no success. I only get _1 and _2 for options.

Hi TRIO_Programs,
Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I cloned your form and tested it to see if I could replicate the issue, and I ran into the same issue. When I looked at your form, I saw that the substring widget wasn't configured correctly. Let me show you how to fix it:
- In your Form Builder, select your first Substring Widget and click on the Wand Icon.
- Remove the extra braces in the Source field ID, and click on Update Widget.
Next, we need to rename your PDF file:
- In your PDF Editor, click on the Paint Roller Icon located on the right side of your page.
- Click on the Pencil Icon beside the PDF File Name.
- Click the + Form Fields and select the _1 , _2, and Form Title in the dropdown.
- Hit on Apply Changes to update changes in the PDF File name.
That's it! Test your form, and you should receive a correct PDF File name as an attachment. Check out my screencast below for the result:

Give it a try and let us know how it goes.
