In a report, add a $V{DEFAULT_EXPORT_NAME} variable

Hello,


When you export a report from a Visualize rendered div, the proposed fileName is the technical name of that report.


Our Customer has 75 reports to be rendered each week with specific criteria for each report (book with subReports in fact). The first criterion is the target company name


Once this export done, the generated file names should have semantic names, and not


report.pdf

report(1).pdf

report(2).pdf


Our Customer would like to have a proposed export fileName automatically built on that criterion and the date as YYYYMMdd format.


For example


JONES_20230127.pdf

ALLAN_20230127.pdf

SIMTH_20230127.pdf


For the moment, our Customer has to edit the fileName for each export. This is very time consuming, annoying and a potential source of incoherences.


Would it be possible to have a report variable, for example $V{DEFAULT_EXPORT_NAME} with the report name by default, but a customizable value based on parameters and/or datasource fields ?
