Compliance Documents - File Name
When adding documents to Compliance tab under the new 'Register' feature the system has a very high level of requirements for file names. Only letters or numbers are accepted. Your not allowed any other characters such as commas, dash or any type of other punctuation. Surely this can be less strict considering most file names have full addresses and other items in file names.
Currently the file name does accept using a dash, full stop and underscore however does not allow for commas. We are discussing this with our development team

Yes this is so important, especially when transferring files from an email or authorities when doing creditor runs. At the moment files that contain special characters need to be downloaded, renamed and then uploaded which is extremely time consuming.

//This may work on the client side. It also happens when attaching when attaching documents in emails.
function sanitizeFileName(fileName) {
// Replace all invalid characters with an underscore
return fileName.replace(/[,\s]/g, '_');
}document.getElementById('fileInput').addEventListener('change', function(event) {
let file = event.target.files[0];
let sanitizedFileName = sanitizeFileName(file.name);
// Here you would set the sanitized file name to the file input or handle accordingly
console.log('Sanitized file name:', sanitizedFileName);

This takes so much time having to re name documents. This is also an issue when processing invoices, adding documents, email documents. Many of our creditors use commas, underscore, #, $, ( ) and & in the names of their invoices. It is becoming increasingly frustrating having to save individual invoices/documents just to be able to upload them.

We would LOVE to see this fixed!

YESSSS - this, you have to literally change the document name every other time. Would love to see this fixed.
