Appian Mobile - Downloaded document filename is incorrect on Android

Hello,

When users download a document from our application in Appian Mobile, the downloaded filename does not match the original document name.

Android: The downloaded file is saved with a gibberish/system-generated filename.

  • Is this a known limitation or issue with Appian Mobile?
  • Is there a supported way to control the filename used when downloading documents on Android ?
  • Are there any recommended workarounds to ensure the original document name is preserved?

Expected Mobile behavior on Android: Appian doesn't pass the document name to Android's download layer, so it saves under the internal token, not the original name. No supported parameter or Admin setting controls it, and no KB documents a fix.
Recommend Log it with Appian Support as a mobile enhancement.
