customPublicId Not Working

[teddeejordan1984]

I have the following const set:

const uuid4 = uuid.v4();

and in the widget I have:

customPublicId={uuid4} use_filename={false}

When the file uploads it's using the filename, not uuid4, as the public ID.

Sorry for the delay in responding.
Are you signing the uploads when using a custom ID?

[teddeejordan1984]

No. It's for an unsigned preset.

this could be why. I believe that the customId's only work for signed uploads. I'll double check though as cloudinary's own documentation has a level of interpretation.

Custom public ID to assign to a single uploaded asset. If not specified, either 
a randomly generated string or the original file name is used as the public ID 
according to the unsigned upload preset. To ensure secure usage, overwriting 
previously uploaded assets sharing the same public ID is not supported (unless 
you also include "overwrite = true" in the upload preset).
Default: null.
Example: profile_11002
