Is it possible to duplicate a Material within the same Physical Assets?

When I duplicate the Material in the Material Browser all appearance and Physical properties are duplicated too.

So I must accept or assign the new unique names for appearance and Physical purposes of Material.

In my case I need, for example, the same Material with different appearance, for example knurled and regular.

 

I cannot save the new Material with existing Physical properties name and it makes unwanted copies like Steel(1), Steel(2) in Assets.

 

After I made a copy I can reassign the Physical properties back to existing but it takes a time of replacing assets and deleting unwanted copies.

 

Is it possible to make a copy within the same Physical Assets?

In the Material Editor toolbar, click , 0+ and then click Duplicate Material. A material is created from the selected material
