Hi there. Unfortunately, this is not fixed. I have the issue in all of my projects.
See this video here, at timestamp for what is happening:

Once I’ve copied the devices, right click, Edit and the rename option is grayed out.
You have to then rename each individual asset. Very time consuming.

If you want to bulk rename multiple assets, the Rename option is grayed out.

No You dont have to do this manually, just learn few tricks like F2(rename one entity) or Shift+F2(batch rename)
