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);

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

fileName = decodeURIComponent(fileName);

// 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);

// Trigger the download

link.click();

// 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
