HI,I have create a file upload button (which reuses the share file upload) in a custom page. Everything works fine.But how can I rename the file that has been uploaded?For example, if the user upload a file "1.txt" it will be saved as the same name in the given folder. Do I have option to rename it

Hi,

You can do it in onUploadCompleteData method of flash-upload.js file.

in this method you will get the uploaded file noderef, you can use that nodeRef and call custom repository webscript to update properties of Node.

Other option is - you can extend alfresco repository webscript which is being called on upload - /api/upload.

In this script, you can define your required name before creating file

var newFile = destNode.createFile(filename);‍
