Importing Animation Names Issue in UE 5.5.3

This is funny, I had the exact same situation a month ago. And it was solved by staff presenting the Interchange system:

Animation action names when importing FBX

In UE 5.2 and 5.5 (using the new FBX importer) I run into the following issue: I create a model, skeletal mesh and some animations for that skeleton in Blender 4.3. All animation actions are shown below. [image] I export all to a single FBX file. In Unreal Engine, I import the FBX file, creating skeleton, animations etc. I find that the created animation sequence assets have names mismatching the action names in Blender. There is no way to customize this on the importer? [image] As you …

I documented steps I took with screenshots, should get you all the info to correct the animation names on import.

I guess i could batch rename them all at once, but that would not solve the issue of replacing the old ones when i import the new ones on top of them.

I really hope that also solves the reimport . I think it matches UAsset name to animation sequence in the FBX when attempting so, I suppose through Interchange as well. Can’t say if that is the same pipeline or something else to configure. Maybe that already works.
