Option to evaluate filename(base) variable after ingest rename

I rename all images on ingest so that filenames are unique (e.g. YYYYMMDD_0001.CR2). I want the IPTC Object Name to be equal to this new {filenamebase} (e.g. YYYYMMDD_0001), but currently {filenamebase} is evaluated on the original, rather than the new, filename (e.g. _IMG0001).
Try putting the same variables you used for renaming in the Object Name field. {filenamebase} and {filename) are always the original name and not the variable-evaluated name.

Doh! Of course...
Thanks, Marziah. Can't believe I didn't think of that. Consider this feature request solved and closed.
