You can enable the "Filename provider" behavior in the file field settings, then use either {file:name} for the original name or better
for a safe name without the timestamp
{file:safename}.{file:extension}for a safe name without the timestamp

This is not an absolute path to a directory, the absolute path can be found in Joomla 4 5 by going to:
System > Information > System information > Configuration file
The path will be shown there, but you may also use the ChronoForms8 shortcode for that:
so you may use something like {path:front}/uploads/
System > Information > System information > Configuration file
The path will be shown there, but you may also use the ChronoForms8 shortcode for that:
{path:front}so you may use something like {path:front}/uploads/
Now it works, but can it be configured to allow uploading a file with same name? ( i.e. updated file)?

use the following as the filename provider:
I think that should overwrite an existing file
{file:safename}.{file:extension}I think that should overwrite an existing file
Ok, I added a new behavior to file fields to "overwrite existing files", this should be available in the next update
