https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/general/4415/hello-i-have-a-question-on-fileuploadfield-once-i-select-a-file-to-uploHello, I have a question on fileUploadField: Once I select a file to upload, how can I access the name of the file being uploaded? I need to check if file with same name has already been uploaded earlier. An example would be appreciated.

After then you can do the further manipulations, like matching it with all the other document name.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.appian.com/thread/15891?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 09 Mar 2015 19:50:29 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:92eaa9ce-f74f-4bca-b598-601b4c017f49maheshp664I believe you cannot access the properties of the temporary document...I tried the following....<br />saveInto: { local!uploaddoc, a!save(local!fileName,document(local!uploaddoc,&quot;name&quot;))} <br />and...got this error....<br /><br />Error evaluating function &#39;document&#39; : com.appiancorp.suiteapi.common.exceptions.InvalidDocumentException: Document Does Not Exist or has been Deleted<br /><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.appian.com/thread/15889?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 09 Mar 2015 19:35:25 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:caa787f3-33d7-4e98-9136-786ade9044faJason RuvinskySathya, is this possible prior to submitting the form? We haven&#39;t been able to access a document name while the document is in the &quot;temporary&quot; state prior to SAIL form submission.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.appian.com/thread/15879?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 09 Mar 2015 00:53:54 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:05d76f05-e227-49da-a489-b1722af38555Sathya SrinivasanContent service plug-in has a function called getDocumentByName. An option is to check if the file exists or not before uploading the new file. <br /> Note: Appian does not restrict files by file name. So you can have multiple files with the same file name within a folder.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
