Can i modify the file name on attachment via script?

Good morning everyone 🙂

 

I was wondering if i could via script, change the name of the PDF file that is created when i use the submit button and it attaches the current PDF into an email.

 

Something like a name + date:: 2023-01-25_FN LN.PDF

And just in the hopes this helps, i use the following script to fire off the said email:

event.target.submitForm({cURL: cEmailURL,cSubmitAs:"PDF",cCharSet:"utf-8"});

 

Thx again for the help, this would be awesome if its doable.

Didn't find any parameter to pass the custom file name.

There is one property 'documentFileName', see if you can do something with this.

If you do :

app.alert(event.target.documentFileName); -> it will give the current file name.

I think something need to be done with documentFileName property.

      It's not possible to change the name of the attached file via script. You'll have to save the document under the desired name before sending it.
