I'm trying convert my SD Card renaming workflow in Automator to an Apple Shortcut (that way i can use it on iOS for when i'm importing RAW image files on my iPhone while travelling.
I have no idea how to do the Sequentional renaming (with a New name), and adding the date to the file.
There is no Finder on iOS and the iOS Shortcut Rename File has no options, just from -> to. There is no 1:1 relationship with Automator, macOS Shortcuts, and i/Pad/OS Shortcuts. There is no scripting "putty" on iOS to manage sequential file renaming.
The macOS Shortcuts app does have an import feature to convert Automator workflow to Shortcuts, but it too has its limitations.

cazzzac44 ~ Shortcuts has a Rename File action and also a Set Name action. But it sounds like you need more help than that. So whilst you await other suggestions here, consider also asking on this Shortcuts subreddit — it has many more Shortcuts experts than here on ASC.

Right, so it sounds like I'd be better off just bringing a Macbook Air while travelling and doing all the RAW photo management in MacOS, rather than trying to use my phone as a bridge while travelling. Thanks for clarifying :)
Yeah, I have a $2K+ M4 iPad Pro just sitting here on the corner of my Desktop as my go to device is either the M4 Mac Mini Pro in front of me or a 16-inch 2021 M1 MBP M1 Pro when traveling. To its credit, I drove from Michigan to Iowa last Spring to make a car purchase and the iPad Pro was playing Apple Music while Apple Maps kept us on course.
