  • Hi

    Even I am facing same issue as Sanjeev that the Create Zip File smart service replaces the document names with some random 8 digit number

    I am giving File Name as ="New Zip File" and generated zip file has this name; but names of the documents zipped are getting changed to 8 digit number.

    I am passing 4 documents, 3 of which are PDFs and one is xlsx document.

    Original document names are changed to: 10001279.pdf, 10001827.pdf, 10001834.pdf, 10001836.xlsx

    Can you please let me know the way to retain file names in the generated zip file?

    Also are there any restrictions to keep in mind while using Create Zip File smart service like types, size & number of files supported?

    Thanks!
