 * Yes, specifically using this snippet of code in a plugin that appends functions.
   php I can add an entry to the attachment details page:
 *     ```
       //function to add custom media field
       function custom_media_add_media_custom_field( $form_fields, $post ) {
           $field_value = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'edit_filename', true );
   
           $form_fields['edit_filename'] = array(
               'value' => $field_value ? $field_value : '',
               'label' => __( 'Filename' ),
               'helps' => __( 'Enter new filename' ),
               'input'  => 'input'
           );
   
           return $form_fields;
       } 
   
       //add metadata field to attachment page
       add_filter( 'attachment_fields_to_edit', 'custom_media_add_media_custom_field', null, 2 );
       ```
   
 * What I had tried then after that was to run your code when the edit attachment
   action runs:
 *     ```
       //save your custom media field
       function custom_media_save_attachment( $attachment_id ) {
           if ( isset( $_REQUEST['attachments'][ $attachment_id ]['edit_filename'] ) ) {
   
               //Get value stored in attachment details form
               $edit_filename = $_REQUEST['attachments'][ $attachment_id ]['edit_filename'];
   
               //Save filename to metadata
               update_post_meta( $attachment_id, 'edit_filename', $edit_filename );
   
               //Run rename using phoenix plugin
               Phoenix_Media_Rename::do_rename($attachment_id, $edit_filename);
           }
       }
       add_action( 'edit_attachment', 'custom_media_save_attachment' );
       ```
   
 * But doing this essentially crashes the server for a while (my database kept crashing
   because it was saying it was receiving too many calls, so I had to wait about
   30-45 minutes for that to fix itself.)
 * I did find out though, that in your add_filename_field function, if I remove 
   the stipulations of it being a post and attachment, the filename field does show
   up on the attachment details page.
 *     ```
       /**
        * Add the "Filename" field to the Media form
        *
        * @param [type] $form_fields
        * @param [type] $post
        * @return array form fields
        */
       function add_filename_field($form_fields, $post) {
          //if (isset($GLOBALS['post']) && $GLOBALS['post']->post_type=='attachment') {
             $file_parts=$this->get_file_parts($GLOBALS['post']->ID);
             $form_fields['mr_filename']=array(
                'label' => __('Filename', 'phoenix-media-rename'),
       	 'input' => 'html',
                'html' => $this->get_filename_field($GLOBALS['post']->ID, $file_parts['filename'], $file_parts['extension'])
             );
          //}
          return $form_fields;
       }
       ```
   
 * That is about all I found out before I decided to reach out to you.
