Change file name in a scriptable object

Questions & Answers
1

I am building asset bundles from a scriptable object and I would like to change the filename according to the build options I set in my scriptable object.

I’ve tried object.name = “newName” however that is does not change the filename.

Any pointers please?
Thanks

Think I found a better way to rename an asset:

string assetPath =  AssetDatabase.GetAssetPath(myAsset.GetInstanceID());
AssetDatabase.RenameAsset(assetPath, newName);
AssetDatabase.SaveAssets();

@liszto Thanks you got some ideas churning which helped me solve the problem.

Final solution is this:

            string listingFilePath = Path.GetFullPath(myAssetPath);
            string listingFilePathNoFileName = listingFilePath.Remove(listingFilePath.Length - (myAssetPath.Length)); //Remove filename
            string listingRelativePath = AssetDatabase.GetAssetPath(myAsset); //Get path withing the unity folder 
            string listingFullPath = listingFilePathNoFileName + listingRelativePath;
            string newFilePath +="mychanges";
            File.Copy(listingFullPath, newFilePath, true);

public bool renameOnValidate = false;
public int id;
public int itemName

private void OnValidate()
{
            if (renameOnValidate)
            {
                string thisFileNewName = id + "_" + itemName;
                string assetPath = UnityEditor.AssetDatabase.GetAssetPath(this.GetInstanceID());
                UnityEditor.AssetDatabase.RenameAsset(assetPath, thisFileNewName);
                renameOnValidate = false;
            }           
}
