Description
## Context
We may want to consider how people can connect file attachments to the pertinent question in the form that it relates to – which question each file attachment pertains to (within the file naming convention or some other mechanism?)
## Opportunity
Following the research sessions on [attachment](https://app.zenhub.com/workspaces/gcforms-60cb8929764d71000e481cab/issues/zh/366) downloads through the UI, users shared a need for clearer visibility into which attachments correspond to which questions within the form. This would help them understand the context of each attachment.
A [workshop](https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVJhJpoyo=/?moveToWidget=3458764650900225446&cot=14) with the product team identified a potential solution to this pain point: **use the unique question ID in the attachment filenames**.
## Prioritization
This opportunity was prioritized at a Nice to haves level (Low impact, Low effort) by the product leads
Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue names no files or tests; start by tracing the attachment upload and download flow in the NextJS application and how form question IDs are available. Done means downloaded attachment filenames clearly include the unique question ID so users can match each file to its form question.
