formAPI and auto-saving DCR names

Hi all, I am designing a system where formAPI is used based on fields in the DCR to determine where the DCR will be saved and what its file name will be.

I have read a bit on this, and am comfortable with the implementation, but am curious if anyone has come across the business problem of not having an airtight connection between the DCR file name and the name specified in the DCR field.

What if a user manually renames or moves a DCR and it's name is no longer valid?

What if a user is editing a DCR and renames it by changing the value in the field that the name is based? That would be the equivalent as a "save as" wouldn't it?

Does anyone have any input?

Thanks

Brad

You can remove rename from the menu (for users below admin for instance - see IWHOME/etc/iw.cfg.example). You can make the fields you use to select the directory and filename readonly after the file has been saved or if the user has opened an existing DCR - let me know if you need code examples. You can disable the save as button.
