File Upload - Option to Remove GUID from File Names

[mchtbrt]

Description

Currently, in Form.io's File Upload component, a GUID is automatically appended to the uploaded file names, even if the {{guid}} variable is not included in the File Name Template.

There are cases where users do not want GUIDs to be added to file names. However, the system enforces it regardless of the provided template.

Expected Behavior

• Provide an option to disable GUID addition to file names.
• When {{fileName}} is used as the File Name Template, the uploaded file should retain its original name without a GUID suffix.

Current Behavior

• The system forces the addition of a GUID even if the template does not include {{guid}}.
• There is no way to disable this behavior.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Add a File Upload component in Form.io.
2. Set the File Name Template to {{fileName}}.
3. Upload a file (e.g., document.pdf).
4. The uploaded file will be renamed to something like document-abc1234.pdf, where abc1234 is an unwanted GUID.
