Import File Naming Issue

I'm sure it is something simple, but I'm struggling to import my images with their original file numbers.  What I want to do is jobname_yyyy/mm/dd_[the original image filename]

I found one post on this that this happens by default.  I cannot get it to work...including using the preset of orginal_filename

  The token you need is [Image Name] which refers to the current file name.

  You could use

  [Job Name]_[Image Year (yyyy)]-[Image Month (MM)]-[Image Day of Month (dd)]_[Image Name]

  Note I used - instead of / as I am not sure that / is acceptable in a file name. Also the complicated date business is because the simpler [Image Date] token doesn't include yyyy-MM-dd as one of the formats on offer. You could use [Image Date] if you didn't mind using a simpler 2-digit year.

  And [Image Name] means the current file name. So this would change DSC12345.NEF to 

  [Job Name]_2023-01-15_DSC123435.NEF. If you renamed again using the Image Name token, the image Name would be treated as [Job Name]_2023-01-15_DSC123435.NEF not DSC123435.NEF.

  Got it.  I thought I had tried image_name...but changed the token and all is good.  Thank you.
