Setting the FULL filename via the .properties file
Post here questions and problems related to editing and publishing DITA content.
Setting the FULL filename via the .properties file
When creating a new document from a template, I understand that you can customize a filename using via the filenamePrefix and filenameSuffix parameters. Is it possible to set the ENTIRE filename? I would like the generated filename to contain ONLY the current date, for example, 2021_01_01.dita.
What I've done:
The generated filename contains the "untitledxx" string. Is there a way to prevent this from happening so that the generated filename contains ONLY the date?
What I've done:
- Disabled the "Use the title to generate the file name" option in DITA / topics.

- Added filenamePrefix=${date(yyyy_MM_dd)}
The generated filename contains the "untitledxx" string. Is there a way to prevent this from happening so that the generated filename contains ONLY the date?

Hello,
I cannot think of a way of properly doing this. I believe that usually a filename is manually provided or generated based on the title, to reflect the content.
If you don't need a title for your DITA topic, perhaps you could re-enable the option to generate the filename from the title, and only provide an underscore as the title. We have an extra-processing step that removes leading underscores from the filename, but we still try to generate a name from the title, and you should get the desired result ("untitled" is removed). It looks like a fortunate coincidence for your use-case.
Unfortunately, there is a bug when trying to set the prefix in the text field, and often times you won't be able to do this, because of the special characters of the editor variable ($, {, }). I logged this issue internally on EXM-47480.
