SamSteele Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Give a new Publisher file the name "A". Save it. Close it. Open file "A" and save it as "B". Open "Fields" in saved document "B" and under "Document Information" the "Title" field will read "A", which is what the name of what the file WAS, not what it IS now. There is a title-filename mismatch that persists. Even if you close the app down and start afresh, the mismatch persists. See attachment. Yes I know, I can manually change the Title field but a) that's not productive and b) it doesn't stick. The title field in "B" reverts to the first document's filename. I could hard wire it, but that defeats the purpose of a field doesn't it? The field seem unable to update itself automatically and there is no manual key for doing so. Win 64, AP 1.7.1.404.

If Create New document, then your "File name" is undefined (untitled), and your "Document Title" is undefined (empty), see on Fields. If Save this document (SaveAs, because your file name is still undefined), and "Document Title" is also undefined, then "Document Title" is setting according "File name" (that there was at least something in the field). If "Document Title" is defined, thus, of course, the "Document Title" will not change when file saved (Save or SaveAs). Try - create New document, insert anything to "Document Title", and Save document. In "Document Title" is anything or "File name"? :-) Edited August 21, 2019 by Pšenda Quote Affinity Store (MSI/EXE): Affinity Suite (ADe, APh, APu) 2.4.0.2301 Dell OptiPlex 7060, i5-8500 3.00 GHz, 16 GB, Intel UHD Graphics 630, Dell P2417H 1920 x 1080, Windows 11 Pro, Version 23H2, Build 22631.3155.

SamSteele Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share Posted August 21, 2019 I don't use titles. What I need is a field that will pick up the filename of the current document and will change if the doc is saved-as under a new name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garrettm30 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I think you can find what you're looking for in the Fields Studio: it is Filename under the Document Statistics section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant! Thank you. I missed it under Document Statistics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
