With success message.&#x20;

## Download File Link

Download file link

Changing the name of the saved file

<https://wishlist.webflow.com/ideas/WEBFLOW-I-819>

Nice idea from Yeshai Lang

This can be done with some custom code. Embed the following script after the "Download File" button element:\
\<script>

document.getElementById('downloadButton').addEventListener('click', function() {

var fileNameWithPrefix = this.getAttribute('data-file');

var fileName = fileNameWithPrefix.substring(fileNameWithPrefix.indexOf('\_') + 1);

<br>

// Decode the filename to replace '%20' with actual spaces

fileName = decodeURIComponent(fileName);

<br>

// Create a temporary link element

var link = document.createElement('a');

link.href = 'path\_to\_download/' + fileName; // Replace 'path\_to\_download/' with your actual download path

link.setAttribute('download', fileName); // Set the download attribute to specify filename

link.style.display = 'none';

document.body.appendChild(link);

<br>

// Trigger the download

link.click();

<br>

// Cleanup: remove the temporary link element

document.body.removeChild(link);

});

\</script>\
\
And create a custom element set as a button:\
\<button id="downloadButton" data-file="{{wf {\&quot;path\&quot;:\&quot;file-to-download\&quot;,\&quot;type\&quot;:\&quot;FileRef\&quot;\\} }}" class="button">Download File\</button>\
replacing {{wf {\&quot;path\&quot;:\&quot;file-to-download\&quot;,\&quot;type\&quot;:\&quot;FileRef\&quot;\\} }} with the relevant field from your cms
