Auto-customize name under which completed forms are saved in ODK collect

Support

Hi all

Is it possible to automatically customize the name under which a completed
form is saved, by inserting the value of a previously collected field (e.g.
street address)?

I don't think it's an issue for post-collection data analysis, but working
in the field it would make post-editing of completed forms much easier
(currently they all come with the form name and collection time, which is
not always helpful).

Thanks
Thomas

This has been requested before at
http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/issues/detail?id=433. I'm sure
the core team would accept a patch...
