Can't change title

[JuergenSimon]

Hi,

I'm completely new to this and normally never touch python if I can avoid it, so please bear with me. I have a setup where I feed documents straight from a scanner via FTP into paperless, the subdirectories of the upload directory get turned into tags. All documents that are scanned this way have the 'scanned' tag.

I want to name the documents accordingly. Not the filenames, but the title metadata. I have an very simple ruleset and it does not seem to work. I don't understand why:

---
FixScannedDocumentTitles:
  match: "{{ 'scanned' in tag_list }}"
  metadata_postprocessing:
    title: '{{ tag_list[1] }}-{{ document_id }}({{ document_type }})'
---

I see no errors in the logs. What am I overlooking?

I'm new here too, but having viewed the paperless ngx logs at http://:8000/logs
and worked through and solved several other things first, I have managed to insert 'hello-me' in front of consumed documents file names

  metadata_postprocessing:
    title_old: '{{ title }}' # saved as temporary value
    title: 'hello-me {{title_old}}'

I haven't yet got to extracting detail from the contents and inserting that to create a file name, but maybe this will help you or another reader.

Oh, and for this to run, match: True so it affects every document processed
I haven't managed to get any other matches working yet
