Importing FBX with animations does not have Action names

I tried to look for this everywhere but could not find anything about it.
If I try and import an FBX model which has animations then Unreal renames all the animations with prefix “Anim_” + number + “_Rig”. So all the animations look like Anim_1_Rig, Anim_2_Rig,…

There isnt any option in the Import Content Window for this.
Also to check if there are animations with names in the FBX, I imported it in blender and it had the names in action editor:

Is your option “Use source name for asset” enabled?

Yes I tried enabling and disabling it. There is no difference the names are still the same.

Is it something to do with this:

Is this an issue with the FBX from Blender or a general FBX files issue? I have the same issue with armatures with actions from Blender.

Did you figure this out? My problem is that it makes 4 animations instead of one. before updating the engine i never had this problem T.T now everytime i need to delete the 3 of them that don’t work.
