"Duplicate Material and Assets" should prompt user for a name

"Duplicate Material and Assets" should prompt user for a name

"Duplicate Material and Assets" is a nice feature in 2023, but it really should prompt the user for the new material name and use that name for both the new Material and the Asset.  The way it is now the Asset is called OldMaterialName(1), and I have to go rename the asset to match the new material name.

 

Having to rename the new Asset is a waste of time, and could be avoided if the user is prompted for a new name first before Revit duplicates with the useless (1) suffix.

Another similar suggestion would be to include a 'Rename Asset' button along with 'Replace' and 'Duplicate' - screenshot below. This would save a lot of time spent on searching for the asset in the asset browser to rename it.

Yes, or at least have an editable name field at the top (like the Identity tab has for material name).

The Asset Name field is way too hidden in the "Information" section which always seems to be closed.
