Hi, This situation is expected behavior. Non-asset-database methods, such as FileUtil.CopyFileOrDirectory(), don't handle assets' internal properties, such as asset names. Meaning, FileUtil.CopyFileOrDirectory() will just do a simple copy of the file. Regards, Povilas Customer QA Team

Reproduction steps:
1. Open the attached “ASDQWE” project
2. In the top menu select Test > CopyFile
3. In the Project Window select “Assets/SourceMaterialFolder/FileUtilCopyFileMaterial.mat” material
4. In the Inspector Window observe the material’s name

Expected result: The asset file name matches the main object name (FileUtilCopyFileMaterial)
Actual result: The asset file name (My Test Material) does not match the main object name (FileUtilCopyFileMaterial) and a warning is displayed stating to fix this issue

Reproducible with: 2021.2.0a18, 2021.2.19f1, 2021.3.25f1, 2022.2.20f1, 2023.1.0b17, 2023.2.0a15
Not reproducible with: 2020.3.48f1, 2021.2.0a17

Reproducible on: Intel MacOS 13.3.1
