The file name restriction feature is variable processor compatible for both single file and multiple file uploads. Enforcing a file name does NOT affect the file extension.

When users upload their files, they will be presented with a message informing them that their files will be renamed per the naming convention you have specified:

When File Name Restriction is configured, multiple files uploaded to the same field will be named with version numbers. If your File Name Restriction is set to filename, the first file uploaded will be renamed filename, the second file uploaded will be renamed to V_1_filename, etc.


Note that any spaces in file names specified will be replaced by the underscore character ("_").
