Description Nicolas Christener 2019-11-01 08:38:34 UTC
Description:
The iOS app offers a "create new from template" functionality which will create a new file and (re-)use the filename of the template.

In most of the cases the user will then need to rename the file after editing and it would be very much welcome if one could set the name in the process of instantiating the template.

My proposed workflow:
1.) user opens the app and navigates to the folder where the new fill should be created
2.) click the "+" button
3.) choose the template
4.) the app asks for the new filename
5.) the new file gets created from the template and the filename the user provided is used

Steps to Reproduce:
See description.

Actual Results:

Expected Results:

Reproducible: Always

It would be good to restrict the input field for the new name in a way, that users can't enter characters into the field with the filename that the app can't open, see #125755.

Asking the document name would be the first instance of the app actually presenting some own native UI;) So far it is using completely system-provided UI (the document browser), or the stuff shared with web-based Online. Looking into this now.

I'd prefer to fix bug #125755 instead of not accepting such mishandled file names.
