Update File Name in Workflow

Would be great if there was a way to update the name of a file that has been submitted via a Nintex Form within the workflow instance itself. This would make it much easier to associate files with other references provided within the form, such as a Title or Name.

    It would be nice if there was a way to get the filename within the workflow. Currently you can pull the name from the collection but not without serious regex work.

    Example:
    {"connectionId":"555555","path":"/NintexWorkflowCloud/6re10d98-2e3e-430e-9efe-73f451714rb9_1_1/empPhotoExample3.jpg"}

    Yes, if we can update the file name, we needn't to worry users uploading files with same name. Hope this function achieved as soon as possible. :)

    As per @Liqian's comments below: I want to avoid failed WF instances as users attempt to submit forms with uploaded files with the same name or (more often) resubmit with the same filename again.

    I have workflows failing due to bad file names in attachments which can't be stored in SharePoint. This is a major flow in the product, IMO. Either allow manipulation of file names or allow rules on file names in the NWC form.
