Description (last modified by )
On the FileField, we have the option to define the default storage that the project uses globally with the option to override it at a field level manually.
It would be great to extend the same functionality to the upload_to argument as well. In some projects, we do find ourselves manually overriding it for every file & image field and it is one more check to remember / check during PRs.
It would be great if we could define a DEFAULT_UPLOAD_TO = "callable_or_string" so that it simplifies working on a project when collaborating with others
I did it ask around the forum and was told having a custom field was the only way to go at the moment (ref: https://forum.djangoproject.com/t/settings-upload-to-at-project-level-settings/26334)
