Specify the name or path of upload

I have a 2 collections first is for products with preview image field (upload type) in it as well as field for other images of the product, second one to store those images -

productMediaCollection

.


I wanted on image upload (for example from

products

collection) to change the name or/and file path of it to fit product title like:



productMediaCollection/someProduct/image_uuid.webp;

or at least to change the name to something like this:



productMediaCollection/productTitle_uuid.webp

So is there a way to change default uploading name for example via

beforeValidate

hook, because i dont quite understand how to do it?


Or maybe it possible to provide some function to

staticDir

in

productMediaCollection

to make it conditional?



Thank for answers

    There is a Github discussion on this topic:

    https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/discussions/1153

    You should be able to handle it in a

    beforeOperation

    similar to marked answer.

    Thank, this solution might work, but if i create hook on

    productMediaCollection

    then i cant have an access to information about product from which i created a media 😦


    so i cant provide a product title or something like that into hook



    So i media collection hook dont knows from where it was edited last time or something like that
