Description:
When users upload multiple photos in one action via the Smartsheet iOS mobile app, all files are assigned the same generic name and timestamp. This makes it difficult to identify individual photos and creates confusion in workflows that rely on accurate, unique file naming.
Why This Matters:
- Industry Standard: Other apps retain original filenames or apply unique identifiers.
- Operational Efficiency: Field teams need quick, accurate photo uploads without manual renaming. The recommended workaround of uploading photos one by one greatly increases the time required to submit forms decreasing productivity in the field.
- Data Integrity: Duplicate names hinder auditing and reporting.
Requested Enhancements:
- Preserve original device filenames during multi-photo uploads.
- If duplicates exist, append suffixes (e.g.,
image(1).jpg) or use unique IDs. - Maintain accurate timestamps for each photo.
