Attention for Customers without Multi-Factor Authentication or Single Sign-On - OTP Verification rolls out April 2025. Read all about it here.

So what you're saying is you have an event trigger set for before save that determines the save name of the file?

 

You are wanting to do a "Save copy as" kind of thing but give the file a new name, then open it?

 

Otherwise, unless your trigger is set on close or something weird, the new file should be already open before launching the save command, so there is no need to store the file name...
