Enable Builddialog with CreateFileFromTemplateAction to create file with only file extension

Answered

Hi I have managed to implement a FileTemplateGroupDescriptorFactory and an action, which extends CreateFileFromTemplateAction, to create the files. However, the CreateFileFromTemplateDialog that opens up requires a name to be filled out and I would like to create files with no name in other words with only the file extension like for example:

.gitignore

 

Is there a way I can enable this?

Does overriding com.intellij.ide.actions.CreateFileFromTemplateDialog#doValidate help?

Hi, no it didn't.
I tried that and tried to just print something to see if I defined it correctly but I never get to the souts. Am I missing something? 

public class CreateNoNameFileFromTemplateDialog extends CreateFileFromTemplateDialog {

    protected CreateNoNameFileFromTemplateDialog(@NotNull Project project) {
        super(project);
        System.out.println("construct");
    }

    @Nullable
    @Override
    protected ValidationInfo doValidate() {
        System.out.println("here");
        return null;
    }
