Layout Copy no longer prompts for a new layout name in V26.2.7

Hi,

Right-click a layout tab → Copy immediately creates Layout (2) without prompting for a new layout name.
The Help documentation still states that the command should prompt: "Enter new layout name:" before creating the copy.
Is this an intended behavior change or a regression?

    Hi, it seems was an intended change, but it wasn't reflected in the documentation.

    Thanks for the clarification.
    Would it be possible to add a system variable or a Settings option to choose between automatic naming and prompting for the layout name? The previous workflow was more convenient for many users and also matches the current documentation.

    Does this lisp work for now ?

    (defun c:laycp ( / layname laymane2)

    (setq layname (strcase (getstring "\nEnter Layout name to copy ")))
    (setq layname2 (getstring "\nEnter New layout name "))

    (command "layout" "C" layname layname2)

    (princ)

    )

    Hi @ALANH , yes, this lisp works - only copying via Layout context menu was changed, it doesn't influence the Layout command behavior.
