Is there a way to grab the filename of a file being imported? I have a FileMaker tool that's used to massage some data before it's imported into another system. The import file names are unique for each file (with the files selected by the user at the import step), and I would like to base the export file name on whatever the import filename was. I've read through the built-in Help docs and done some searching here, but haven't found anything yet.

Thanks!

Create a field based on calculation, the content is your container field. The calculation result is text.

Then you've got two field:

The container field with the file inside, and the calculation field shows the filename.
