I'm looking to create a report that displays the filename of any pdf file attached to a record. I added the file/blob field to the report design yet the name of the file is not included when I export the data to csv, xlsx, etc. I found that I'm unable to use a blob within a formula, so my idea of isolating only the file's name fell flat.

Does anyone of know a method to capture the filename of a blob and display it as a text field?

Thanks in advance for any assistance or tips!
