Forms - Custom attachment name in User Task or Email Task

asked on September 29, 2022

Hello,

I need to rename the attachment in the email notifications in my business processes, see attachment 1. I would think that it would be the field shown in attachment 2, but for either a User Task or an Email Service Task, I don't see the desired custom name in my email notifications.

Is there an easy way (without WF) to do this?

 

Thanks,

Nareg

Does this only work for "From a previous process step"? We have a use case where a "multi-document" form is submitted and is broken up into individual "documents" for email notifications or save to repository tasks that are never used in a User Task. This means they're unavailable to select when using "From a previous process step". I created an attachment name as indicated but when "Using current process data" is selected it doesn't change the attachment name.

Only the 0. Packet is used in a User Task.

Hi Cassandra,

The "Attachment" here does not mean the attachment name, it's the extra attachments you uploaded in File Upload fields, it means a list of extra files you want to attach in the email. Currently User task/Email service task don't support renaming the attachment name of attached form.

Hello @████████, just checking if this is still the case in the current version of Forms? Is renaming the attached form a feature that is planned or can be requested in the future? TIA!

Hi @████████

This is still not supported yet, because the attachments count in a File Upload field is not predictable, so we are not sure what attachments are to be renamed and what not. I'd recommend you create another answers post, share your use case about how you like to use the rename feature. We'll collect some more use cases first.
