Unique File Name Instered Into Database

I am uploading a file successfully and inserting into a database record with the file that is being uploaded. Everything is working fine except when the file name has been renamed to a unique name. I have tried using the lighting bolt to navigate to the "Upload Files > Server File Name" (as seen in attached image, also tried with path) but no matter what I try I the original file name is posted.

The server file name variable should give you the correct name. How is the file name being changed?

send a copy of your page using the server file name binding so I can see the code please.

You have the renaming settings set to rename the existing file, you should be renaming the new file instead.

If you where to use the rename existing file settings, you would need to look up the record for the old file and update that as well as insert the new file.

Use the Rename New File option and the new file name will be inserted to the database and the record for the existing file will not need to be updated.

I'm sorry but I'm not following you here. I assume you are talking about the Update record? However I don't see that.

no, in the upload file server behavior the renaming option is set to rename Existing.

Set it to rename The New file instead.

Ahhhhh ok, so the file that already existed on the server was being renamed and the new file was keeping the old name? Backup purposes?

yes, that is correct, you want it to happen the other way around, retain name on old file, rename new one.
