File submission renaming
There should be a way for files to be renamed upon submission based on a field value. For example, the autonumber or field id could become appended to the file name as a prefix.
This way when files are bulk downloaded it would be clear which record they were part of.

I often need to do this and hope it can be implemented soon. Right now I have jump through hoops to match up new entries to the required filenaming convention that includes an autonumber. Very inconvenient.

Absolutely need this. Must be able to identify the uploaded file to the record.

It seems ridiculous that once we download the files, we have no way of identifying which record the file came from. I need to be able to rename the file based on select field(s) in the record.

2020, and this is still an issue. It seems like fairly basic functionality. Before we signed up and built our first site, Caspio told us this would be possible to rename files on upload using Javascript. Then they told us we couldn't rename files on upload, but we could on download. Then, finally they told us it's just not possible.

+1, This will be very helpful as there is no javascript workaround as js prevents file renaming.
As suggested, allow users to add an existing field fro the attached data source to prefix filename.

I was pretty surprised this feature wasn't in already. This is absolutely necessary for our file submission as we use the file name as a part of our parsing process.
