Description

## Opportunity

Following the research sessions on [response](https://app.zenhub.com/workspaces/gcforms-60cb8929764d71000e481cab/issues/zh/364) and [attachment](https://app.zenhub.com/workspaces/gcforms-60cb8929764d71000e481cab/issues/zh/366) downloads through the UI, high volume form managers expressed a need to download form submissions in batches. They would download the csv locally, then transfer it to Sharepoint. The new download of a csv with additional responses would therefore increase the risk of overwriting and therefore user error.

A [workshop](https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVJhJpoyo=/?moveToWidget=3458764650900225446&cot=14) with the product team identified a potential solution to this pain point: **Name CSV files with form ID + download date and time**.
## Prioritization
This opportunity was prioritized at a Strategic bets level (High impact, High effort) by the product leads
The implementation of this solution is also dependent of the insights collected in the M365 integration research [#6767](https://app.zenhub.com/workspaces/gcforms-60cb8929764d71000e481cab/issues/gh/cds-snc/platform-forms-client/6767)
