Editing filename in file uploader placeholder

[sacha.d]

Hi everyone,

When I upload a file and there’s a space in it, it shows symbols and numbers in between the actual name of the file.

Like so:

How do I get the placeholder to display just the name of the file?

So you could just hide the default text in the file uploader element that get’s returned and put in a text field that returns the file name?

You can do as @josh24 suggested or you can also do :find&replace removing % with a space

Thank you Josh. I did as you suggested with the textbox and the file name shows up normally.

But I am curious since I have the place holder set to that, but that’s the value that shows up.

Does it work differently because the expression is in the file uploader itself?

Yeah it’s just one of the many mysteries of Bubble haha. I guess it’s how that particular file upload element was created that causes that. There doesn’t appear to be a way to tell it to show it differently.
