idea Rename Attachments in ArcGIS Pro Ideas

Attachment Manager

It would be helpful in the Attachment Manager within ArcMap to be able to rename attachments without having to find them in the related attachment table. Often photos get created with generic names and we would like to make them more descriptive so people know what they are going to see when they view the attachment.

Please add the capability to rename an attachment in the Attachments view windows, and, to sort or reorder attachments in that same window.

This is a valid idea - thank you for submitting it. As a workaround, you can find the related record(s) in the attachment table and rename it there:

I cannot see the attachment tables from publish layers. I want to rename attachment names from AGOL.

That is good to know @MiguelMartinezYordan Part of the requirement then is that this will also need to work for services. Noted.

Is there any solution to this problem yet?

Another workaround to upload photos with stable names, ie not renamed as done by the Fieldmaps-app, is to go via ArcGIS Online.

@AWiniger This is an idea - have you added your kudos to show your support?

@KoryKramer the workaround works fine but requires additional clicks. I have to have a selection, then go to the sandwich menu and select the related attributes that way. It would be nice to have a swifter workflow.
