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.

Sure, but just not inside the file upload component, and not before submitting the form.

You can access the file names and properties of the file in the context of the file upload validation using fv!file , as Stefan mentioned the name can not be extracted until form is submitted and access via the document object.

This is standard behavior of the File Upload Field.  It doesn't affect the name of the final uploaded file (which should remain the same as the original file's name unless you override it using controls within the component).
