Document/File Name

Is there a way to make file extensions visible instead of just the file title? Pdf, ppt, doc, etc. For example, instead of seeing ACNH_232615601-3 TeleECHO Schizophrenia you would see ACNH_232615601-3 TeleECHO Schizophrenia.ppt so you’d immediately know it was a file that you’re dealing with.

Unfortunately, you cannot change the built in UI fields, or the page headers. What you could do is incorporate the extension into the file name like "ACNH_232615601-3 TeleECHO Schizophrenia-ppt". If you use a dash instead of a dot, it will display as part of the file name.

 

TIP: if this solved your problem, I invite you to consider marking it as a Correct Answer to help others who might also find it of use.

    Sure, see attached. So in these instances, instead of the title being ACNH_232615601-3 TeleECHO Schizophrenia in this view, we would like to see ACNH_232615601-3 TeleECHO Schizophrenia.ppt (to show the .ppt extension.)

    Thank you, that is helpful for reporting purposes. But, I am looking to have the file extension appear just within the docs section of a project, issue, or task, just simply on the title of the document. (Even if we save the file with the file extension, it does not pull over into the title of the document.)

    Can you post a screenshot of what you're referring to?

    This is what you're looking for

     

    displayname=File Name + ext querysort=currentVersion:documentID textmode=true valueexpression=CONCAT({currentVersion}.{document}.{name},".",{currentVersion}.{ext}) valueformat=HTML

     

    or this in a task report:

     

    displayname=Documents & File Type listdelimiter=<br> listmethod=nested(documents).lists textmode=true type=iterate valueexpression=CONCAT({name}," - ",{fileType}) valueformat=HTML

     

    or maybe this in a task report:

     

    displayname=Name+Ext listdelimiter=<br> listmethod=nested(documents).lists textmode=true type=iterate valueexpression=CONCAT({name},".",{currentVersion}.{ext}) valueformat=HTML
