Download as attachments: Option to title each downloaded file of attachments in the person's name

    My 3rd suggestion is the use of the "Download all attachments" from the control panel. Great idea but we need the option to title each downloaded file of attachments in the person's name (and other field options) that uploaded the files for each form. The same as we are able to choose fields in the email notification needs to be in the mass downlod too.

    Hello there,

    Currently, when we download all attachments sent to the form, the files maintain their names and there is no renaming done unless done manually.To confirm, do you want the attachment's file name to be in this format - name of person who uploaded file-filename.imagefileformat? If not, could you please explain further your requirements?

    We look forward to your reply.

    Thank you.

    Yes... we want the attachments to be in the name each person who has uploaded them.

    Unfortunately, an uploaded image cannot be auto renamed as the person who uploaded the image/filled the form.

    It would work when the person changes the image filename to their name and then uploads the image/file.

    But, if it is downloaded as a ZIP file, how can the name of the ZIP file be
    set to the Name of a field. In my case a person's name?

    Hi,

    Unfortunately, you can't customize the filename of the generated Zip file.

    Let us know if you have further questions.
