Hi all,
I am a beginner of Appian, and the name of uploaded file is not visible fully... Is there any limited length?
If so, I would like to make a longer name in an interface..
For instance, the following end of the name should be "report", but "rep..." in an interface...

That is just a matter of how that full name is displayed. And no, this overflow behaviour cannot be adjusted.
no way to display full name in an interface?
Sure, but just not inside the file upload component, and not before submitting the form.

If it's critical, there's a (supported) workaround that involves running the newly-uploaded doc ID through a plug-in which can return its name. But it's a bit of a pain to do, and I wouldn't recommend it for someone who isn't at least somewhat advanced in terms of Appian coding, since it requires innate knowledge of using plug-ins, text extraction, and setting up expression rule utilities for general use to abstract the sometimes clumsier output found from some plug-ins.
But the typical use case is that you just show the user the file upload field and the document it contains. If they don't like how the field truncates the name, that's considered a "user education" issue - since it has no bearing on anything beyond "they don't like it".
If you hover over the text, it should show the full name. Otherwise like others said the only way to show it is to complete the upload (by submitting the form) and display it in a different component
