Asset Share Commons - Download modal - Option to drive "flatStructure" hidden field value through dialog field

[arun_kumary9805]

Several assets share common users who are unable to extract downloaded ZIP files on Windows due to the restricted path length of 256 characters. By default, the asset download process wraps the assets inside a folder with the same title as the asset, effectively doubling the path length when extracting the ZIP file. The "flatStructure" hidden field value  determines whether to wrap the assets inside a folder with the title name or not. When "flatStructure" is set to false, it creates an additional folder hierarchy, whereas setting it to true prevents the creation of an additional folder. Therefore, it would be beneficial to have an option to control the "flatStructure" through the authoring dialog property, providing content authors with the choice to enable or disable it. 

Can I request the contributors to include this option in future releases?

Hi @ arun_kumary9805,

According to official Asset Share Commons page, you can raise this kind of request via GitHub:

You can also contribute by yourself, to do that follow the description under:

Last but not least, keeping in mind Asset Share Commons is an open source solution, you can simply consider to do proper changes in your project, this will be the fastest way. Of course in the meantime your request could be implemented in Asset Share Commons, but due to the nature of this project it is not guarantee.
