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

[Giovanni_Petrosino1]

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.

I’m using a link component

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.
