@somesh202 thanks for working on this! I don't think we want to use the emoji filename when submitting; instead, the idea was to prepopulate the name field if empty when uploading the emoji file.

@timabbott In this case, if the name field is empty and user submits the emoji, then it uses the filename as the emoji name.
Can you please elaborate on the idea of pre-populating the field once, so that I can implement that?
Thanks!

The intent is for the user to see what name might be used before a request is sent to the server to create that emoji; it's not a good user experience to auto-submit a value, since the user won't have the opportunity to view and potentially change it if they don't want to use the filename.

This is a sample data list that would suggest the user for selecting names and can also write/modify it before submitting the emoji. Will this work? @timabbott
