Currently when you upload a file with an upload field type it gets converted to a unique name. Is it possible to have the original file name used again when downloading or maybe the title that you can specify for the file?

It keeps original file name when you downlaod it. Those key names are not visible to end user.

I'm using 8.668 and I always get the key name when I download. When I hover over the document link, I see the link with the key name rather than the original file name. Could it be the way I retrieve the value in my template? I'm using $item->fields_by_id[184]->result; which may not be the best way with a document.

That is because you configured to download file directly. Change parameter to download indirectly

Ahhh yes. That's it. Many thanks Sergey. I was really puzzled with that one.
