PDF export file name

I rarely use the same file name for exported PDFs as the name of the inDesign file. Historically inDesign has retained a memory of the name used for export. Following the recent update to inDesign 18.5 it no longer does this and reverts to the name of the inDesign file. This is a huge problem and caused me to loose several hours of work when it overwrote a file it should not have. Does anybody know if adobe plans to fix this or is there a solution I can apply to fix it myself? Thank you

    I did – is that checkbox new? I can't say as I ever noticed it before but I clearly kept it unchecked. Don't know if the update checked it or I accidentally activated. Glad it was such an easy solution, I feel silly for not seeing it. Thank you.

    It's been there for several years but I'm glad you got it sorted out.
