Ability to copy the name of a folder to other folders
I name folders with the same name (ex-"PDF REVISED) to several different folders for several different jobs, but now I have to type out each name on each and every folder. Older versions of Illustrator had this function. Please bring it back.

Are you using shortcut keys or context menu? Or is the issue happening with both of them?
The developer replied that they did had some issues which crept in with one of the OS (it is thought that Catalina broke something) and this looks like a damage from there.

Alan, I don’t know why it is so hard to understand that other people are not you and can’t see what are you doing exactly. Finally you wrote something that can be checked, hooray. I’ll try to bring some attention to it. Thank you for your patience. Please note that I am not an employee, I just want Ai to be a bit MORE stable. Same boat as you.

I do not know why it is so hard to understand a simple problem. I cannot paste a name into a "New Folder" after the folder appears from the "New Folder" option in the "Save As" dialog box. I do not have a Clipboard Manager, this used to be an action that all previous versions of Illustrator has had in the past 25+ years.

So it means you paste a previously copied name in the new folder’s name, and it gets paste, but you can’t commit the change? or it does not get pasted at all? Can you paste it somewhere else (which means it is an the buffer) or no (which means it does not get copied in the first place)?
Do you have any Clipboard Manager installed? -

This all happens when I am using Illustrator CC with latest update.

I am using Big Sur 11.2.3. When I "Save As" a document I get a box with an option to create a "New Folder" I type in the name "PDF REVISED", a name which I want to use again on another folder when I reuse the "Save As" option and create another "New Folder". This is a normal everyday function but I cannot get the second "New Folder" to accept the "Pasted" name.

When I do a "Save As" for a document and the next window gives me an option for a "New Folder" and name it, I want to copy that name and apply it to the next "New Folder" when I do another "Save As". Illustrator does not allow me to Paste the same name to another "New Folder" which is being saved to a different location than the first. Illustrator used to have this function, what happened to it.

Not sure if I understand the problem.
Rename where? In OS dialogues? Which OS are you using?
Can you demo how it used to work and how it works now?
