File Renaming from Parent data not reflected on UI (Zotero 7 on Windows 11)
Hi,
I have created the file renaming with the customized file format of {{date}} {{firstCreator}} {{ title truncate="100" }}. It works fine with changing the file name in the local storage attached copy. However, it did not reflect on the UI.
I have another problem. if the date field is in yyyy/mm/dd or dd-mm-yyyy format, It cannot rename the file correctly. While renaming if the option is given in customized file format for e.g., {{date format="yyyy-mm-dd"}} {{firstCreator}} {{ title truncate="100" }}, It will be helpful to generate file name as per ISO 8601 standard ( such as 2022-01-23 My Report.pdf). Thank you.

jncomasGiven the number of users who have expressed some confusion regarding this change (not to mention my own frustration), is it feasible to provide an option in the "File Renaming" section of the Settings which enables users to choose a default of whether the attachment title matches the filename or indicates the type of file (e.g., PDF)?
