Show only file name with the link component instead of the whole url

Hello. There is a section in my app where users can upload .pdf docs. Another section where other users can view the documents uploaded. I’m using a link component but it only shows the whole URL of the file making very difficult to understand what file is that. Is there a way to show only the file name, maybe with different component? Thanks in advance.

Why don’t you ask your user to fill in the name, because Glide doesn’t have an option to create/record a file name?

Do you have this option enabled?

That, plus a column to beautify the name would do (for the link component).

Unless it’s a multiple files column, in which case I’m not sure it works at all. I would resort to a JS column solution for multiple files, maybe.

I have the same issue, where instead of showing the file name, it shows the whole link, as you can see in the documents field.

Is there a way to turn the link into a hyperlinked file name, which can open the file?

Not with the fields component, you might have to try a custom component for that.
