Zotero 7: change document name from collection item

In Zotero 6 I could rename the document stored in the computer from its item in the collection. I had to tick a box to give permission to do so. That was an handy feature for I could update the names from within Zotero.

In contrast, in the Zotero 7.0.13 I can change the item name and the link name, but the file name in the storage does not change. Then I move to the file explorer to do so.

Any direction to obtain the behaviour of 6 welcome. Otherwise, this is a polite feature request.
  • You can still right-click an attachment and choose Rename File from Parent Metadata. Note that that won't change the title of the attachment in Zotero, which is different from the filename.

    If you want to set the filename to a custom value, you can do that from within Zotero (edit the "Filename" field). Don't do it in the File Explorer; Zotero won't be able to find the file anymore.
