Cannot set PAPERLESS_FILENAME_FORMAT for the official paperless-ngx TrueNAS-app

Apps and Virtualization

I’m trying to set PAPERLESS_FILENAME_FORMAT to {correspondent}/{created} {title} in the “Additional Environment Variables” section when configuring the official paperless-ngx TrueNAS-app. Setting other variables like PAPERLESS_URL is working fine but once I set this one, I get an error when trying to save it:

Which is followed by what seems to be the (very long) yaml. In there I can see my variable which looks correct but it’s not working:

paperlessConfig:
  additionalEnvs:
  - name: PAPERLESS_FILENAME_FORMAT
    value: '{correspondent}/{created} {title}'

When directly adding quotation marks like so "{correspondent}/{created} {title}” there’s the same error but in the error/yaml I see them now duplicated, which feeld wrong as well.

paperlessConfig:
  additionalEnvs:
  - name: PAPERLESS_FILENAME_FORMAT
    value: '"{correspondent}/{created} {title}”'

I’m stuck here and using paperless without being able to set the file path is not practicable for me. Any ideas?

I see a strange double quote character ” instead of ", probably is just that.
Did you try with only doublequote instead of singlequote?

Man, that’s it! I was fiddling with this for days and it’s that simple. Yes, I need to put the value into quotation marks, but the correct ones:

"{correspondent}/{created} {title}"

Thank you very much!
