File Name and Extension Restrictions

In this release, restrictions have been added to names and extensions for files uploaded to the system via plug-in driven upload batch as well as for attachments and bundles.

• The file's extensions are now validated against an allowlist. The allowlist is defined in a managed content record: F1-FileExtensionAllowList.
• File names and attachment names cannot have any of the following characters: /, \, %, \n, \r, .., null bytes
  • Allowed characters are A–Z, a–z, 0–9, space, and underscore (_)

Ensuring that file names, attachment names and extension names are following stricter validation ensures compatibility between different systems, prevents errors when sharing files across platforms, and maintains the integrity of system operations.

Tips And Considerations

You should confirm that if you have any configured batch file uploads where a file name is defined, the file name conforms to the restrictions.
