This requires setting those attributes before the save_form_data (new in #3297) is called by the form to save the file. The best would be to make this a spechial case that handles those fields last, not only FileFields but any field that requires other model data. If the saving needs a pk, so the filename/dir of the file is based on the model instance pk. save_form_data shold be called right after commit and save the model instance again. Preferably once and not one save per field. The problem with saving twice is if the field has null=False the insert would fail because of missing data on the instance, the solution would be to handle the field both before and after commit. Setting the attribute to '' before the insert, then saving the file on the update." closed Forms dev duplicate file naming newforms filefield, fs-rf jm.bugtracking@… ross@… Design decision needed 0 0 0 0 0 0
