  So by default, I'm not sure if this can be done, but I think with a custom hook this can be done.

  
  
  

  I imagine the flow would be..

  
  
  

  - Upload a file on a collection
  - The afterChange hook fires, giving
   you access to the change and the rest of the fields in the document.
  - You confirm the change was to the field in question
  - You get the location of the uploaded file.
  - You rename the file and save the collection

  yea that's pretty much what i ended up doing:

  
  

  - add image in the frontImage field

  
  

  - it uploads it to a standard folder with whatever name the user had it with

  
  

  - afterChange hook on the frontImage field fires

  
  

  - check if the prefix is the standard one > if it is, i move the picture in the appropriate folder with the new composed name, and update the prefix and filename in payload as well

  
  
  

  at first glance it works perfectly, but i'll come back here if i observe any problems, maybe it'll help someone else in the future

  
  
  

  thanks
