I have a zip file that has a random name that is generated from some workflow. I can use *.zip to upload it. But I rather give it a name. I tried some stuff but all of them failed. Is it possible to use "# syntax" with wildcards? i.e. *.zip#my_archive.zip

I know I can use mv or something like that. I just don't want to if it's possible.

Hi @kaya51, No gh does not support overriding an asset's name. You can use the # notation to change the display name not the filename.

I had tried zip.zip#my_archive.zip, and when a user downloaded it, the filename was my_archive.zip. But when I try it again to be sure, it's not. I think I didn't remove the renaming code in the test. Thank you.
