Report Name option to hardcode attribute

I would like to see a change in the generation of the report name in Survey123.

For example -

We have made a template, uploaded this template and renamed this to use attributes.

As you can see, the report name is generated based on the templates name, with the OID and timestamp. This is not what we would like to see.

Yes, it is possible to use ${fieldnames} in the report name and that works quite well, even with more than one selected attribute to make a report from:

So far, so good.

However, when I reload my survey123, the default OID with timestamp will be there in the report name field. Now I am quite proficient with IT and GIS and how to do this, but my colleagues may not be/are not that proficient. And it is quite tedious to manual change the report name every time the survey loads. I have tried to implement the ${fieldname} in the report template, but that doesn't work (it removes the $ and I even get a 'check syntax' warning).

Is it possible to make a default report name based on the attributes fieldnames and save this in the survey123?
