Display correct document names in the SDU interface.

Nokia is using WDS for their HR Chatbot, and trying out long tail search optimisation through SDU. Anyhow, in the SDU UI's dropdown file list, the files uploaded from the CAESAR/SEA (chatbot asset) Admin Panel to Discovery always get "_" as the extracted_metadata.filename. The asset team researched other possibilities to submit a document to Discovery via the Discovery API but there is no other way than how it's done now (not in document format - submitting the filename as part of the request parameters but Discovery does not seem to correctly interpret it).

Ideally WDS could correctly interpret the metadata and include the correct extracted_metadata.filename. One option would be having the UI populate the document names from the FileName field, but obviously that may have impacts at other clients.

    Hello,

    The filename is already extracted when you are uploading a file through API. Did you try uploading your files with the following code example (NodeJS Request) or equivalent in another language?
    var fs = require("fs");

    var request = require("request");

    var options = { method: 'POST',

    url: 'https://gateway.watsonplatform.net/discovery/api/v1/environments/[environment_id]/collections/[collection_id]/documents',

    qs: { version: '2019-04-30' },

    headers:

    { 'cache-control': 'no-cache',

    Authorization: 'Basic xxxxxxxxx',

    'Content-Type': 'application/json' },

    formData:

    { file:

    { value: 'fs.createReadStream("/C:/path/to/your/file.pdf")',

    options:

    { filename: 'file.pdf'} },

    metadata: '{"url":"https://url.to.your.file"}' } };

    request(options, function (error, response, body) {

    if (error) throw new Error(error);

    //console.log(body);

    });
