I have multiple images in a field. How can i change each attachment name using one click script?
The attachment name should be based on {name} field.
Thank you for the advice

Hi @Kenny_Purnomo ,
Very interesting question. I have looked into it and according to my best understanding, while you cannot use the script to rename the attachment names, you can use it to “re-upload” files with different names.
End result is the same… :winking_face:
Here is a draft script of how it could look like:
const imageTable = base.getTable("Table 1");
const recordsFromImageTable = await imageTable.selectRecordsAsync({fields:["Thumbnail","Title"]})
console.log(recordsFromImageTable)
for (let record of recordsFromImageTable.records){
console.log(record.name)
let title = record.getCellValue("Title")
let imageField = record.getCellValue("Thumbnail")
let newImageField =[]
for ( let [imageNumber,image] of imageField.entries()){
console.log(imageNumber,image,)
let findExtension = image.filename.match(/\.\w+$/) || [""]
let extension = findExtension[0]
console.log(extension)
let fileSpecificName= imageNumber>0 ? "-" + (imageNumber+1) : ""
newImageField.push( {
url:image.url,
filename: title + fileSpecificName + extension
})
}
console.log("New image field array", newImageField)
await imageTable.updateRecordAsync(record.id,
{
Thumbnail: newImageField
})
}
I was testing this on this base:
I made some assumptions here:
- Used a title field for new attachments names
- In case of multiple attachments I have added -2 -3 -4 to the name
- maintained the same extension for the files (if it was .jpg it stays as .jpg)
So the use case above is that the script renames the images to match the title of video for which I am using them.

I hope this helps! :v:

Hi @kennypurnomo ,
I think the other code piece goes into similar direction. What are you missing from the solution above?
