Change name of folder "instances"

Support
1

Hi guys,

Is there a way to automatically change the name of the folder in odk/instances?

For example, if i have an entry "Product Name" in my form, the name of the instances folder will automatically correspond to the specific product name.

Thanks.

No. We only allow you to specify an field to use as the instance name in
the display of the submissions, not in the construction of the directory
(because the directory is constructed when the form is blank, and we
therefore do not know what instance name to give it; and automatically
renaming it is problematic).

You can use the ODK Collect instance provider to retrieve the folder name
from the displayed instance name and vice-versa.
