As a tangent, I recommend using only the Rich Text Display Field to show document download links (there's no reason to use a!linkField() anymore, for any reason IMHO). The primary reasoning here is that in the RTDF, the link can be enabled/disabled dynamically, and at the same time, you can easily add extra elements like icons if/when you choose.

Example:

a!richTextDisplayField(
  value: a!richTextItem(
    text: {
      local!documentName
    },
    link: a!documentDownloadLink(
      document: local!generatedDoc,
      showWhen: not(isnull(local!generatedDoc))
    )
  )
)

The ticks I used were just for this chat, you should remove them

Thank you for the reply Danny, I receive this error when I use the proposed solution [label: `"Download "& local!documentName`]

"Expression evaluation error: Syntax error. Details: Expression evaluation error : Invalid character found in expression: ` (96)"

Yes, in the 'label' field of the documentDownloadLink() you can do `"Download "&document(local!myDoc,"name")`
