Batch Attachment Uploader Reference Work / Title path is limited

[bronwyncombs]

Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

Batch Attachment Uploader has the Reference Work / Title path. If that title and file name have a space it gives "No match"

File names match to RW titles without spaces and to Collecting Trip collectionTripName fields with with spaces.

Additionally:

I have two another issues regarding this. Sometimes the title of reference work is very long and the filename doesn’t support the same size. Along that, characters like “:” are not acceptable in filenames. This will require us to constantly customize the titles for the uploads in batch, wich doesn’t seem practical. I believe it would be very useful if the attachment tool also allowed for manual association.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Query on RW title and copy the value for a record
2. Apply the title value to a file name on your device
3. Go to Attachments > Import
4. Select the Reference Work / Title path
5. Add the named file
6. Click validate & see error

Expected behavior

note that #5941 would allow matching attachments to records by creating a folder that contains all attachments and a csv file that determines the matching with two columns: one with the field value in Specify and one with the file name on your device.
