Still not able to paste (Cmd + V) text when creating a new folder in Save As / Save a Copy / Export As dialog box in Ai 2020
In the latest update the copy and paste option is fixed when trying to do it in the save as dialog box. But if I try to create a new folder with the save as dialog box open I still cannot cmd+v to paste text into the field.
This issue was reintroduced in MacOS update Ventura. The team ran into another issue while implementing the workaround suggested by Apple. While the team revisits this issue, users can use workaround this issues by paste through context menu. Thank you all for the patience.

Could there be a return character in the text? It seems I've had the same results when the copied text includes a new paragraph character.
I successfully name files by pasting in copied text everyday. Only when a stray character is copied do I have an issue. -

This issue has existed for years and I'd like to know if it can be fixed. When copying text from your document, it should remain on the clipboard so that it can be pasted when the Save As window first loads and prompts you to name to the file. However, pasting does not work from text copied from Illustrator. For years I have had to first copy this text, paste it into TextEdit as plain text ideally and then paste the text from TextEdit back into Illustrator once I have the Save window open. There are other workarounds but this is the quickest option I have found.
The most practical use of this feature is saving filenames stored within the document, such as a project or proof spec. sheet that lists the filename you want to end up using when you're ready to save the file. To turn this bug into a feature it would be great if this could be automated as well. I believe a plugin may be better suited for this type of automation currently though.
Copying and pasting text in Illustrator seems to be flawed and other apps such as Adobe Photoshop CC appear to handle this task properly. When I copy text from Photoshop I can paste it directly into the Save As window without any issue.
I've found an older discussion regarding this same issue here:
