Dataset names with decimal values are truncated during Batch Export
When exporting multiple Data Sets via Actions (PDF/EPS/SVG/JPG/PNG format), if the Data Set name contains a decimal value (for example: “Cumin Seeds 1.6 KG”), the exported file name does not retain the full value.
Instead, the file name is truncated and exported as “Cumin Seeds 1.pdf” rather than “Cumin Seeds 1.6 KG.pdf”.
It appears that Illustrator interprets the period (.) in the dataset name as part of a file extension separator, which results in the decimal value being removed during export.
This creates workflow issues, especially in packaging and SKU-based production environments where decimal weights such as 1.6 KG, 2.5 KG, etc., are standard and must remain accurate in file naming for printing, inventory, and documentation purposes.
I kindly request:
1. A review of this behavior to determine whether it is a bug.
2. If intentional, consideration of a feature enhancement that allows dataset names to preserve decimal values during batch export.
3. Alternatively, an option that allows users to control filename parsing behavior when exporting via Data Sets.
This improvement would greatly benefit professionals working with variable data and multi-SKU packaging workflows.
