Overview
--------

[](#overview)

Changes the default folder for choosing existing files through `UploadField` to the folder set with `setFolder()` (if set).

SilverStripe 3.2 introduced a [new default behavior for `UploadField`](https://docs.silverstripe.org/en/3.2/changelogs/3.2.0/#uploadfield-select-from-files-shows-files-in-all-folders-by-default) that shows files in all folders by default when "Select from files" is selected.

Now, if you tried to keep the assets tidy in the past, you have probably used 'setFolder()' on your UploadFields to define a folder within assets where your particular files should be uploaded to. To let a user select files from that particular upload folder, you would now have to add 'setDisplayFolderName()' as well:

```
UploadField::create('MyField')->setFolder('MyUploads')->setDisplayFolderName('MyUploads');

```

This module removes this extra step by automatically setting the display folder to the upload folder if that is defined for an `UploadField`.

### SilverStripe 4 compatibility

[](#silverstripe-4-compatibility)
