Name and rename pictures and attachments in attachment fields

Is there a way to name a picture attachment as you upload it into a record from the Quickbase mobile app? Also, is there a way to rename an attachment that is already in the record? Quickbase automatically gives it a file name when taking a picture using phone camera with a string of numbers which isn't meaningful.

  • The Juiced multi file upload screen allows the user to add a comment to a field during the upload. I don't  think it can rename the file, but you could label the picture in a separate field during the upload. 


    Typically they have a free 30 day demo period.

      Thank you Mark.

      And yes, Mark is correct we cannot rename files upon upload but this seems like a good feature request.  I will add this to our enhancement list. 
      See attached screenshot from our multifile add-on, there is a tab called "file details" where you can edit some data from your Quickbase record for the uploaded files.  I will see if we can add a rename file feature that would allow the entry of a file name and our process would download the file, rename it and save it back to the record.

        That would be a great enhancement to file rename during the upload especially from mobile.  Those in the field taking the picture are the ones who understand what the picture is!
