Since updating to Ventura 13.4.1 whenever I duplicate a file, I'm unable to change the name of the file. I can open it and make edits, and I can edit the original file's name, but not the duplicate. My files are hosted on Dropbox, so that could be an issue?
Please tell me there's a fix, I need this function for work.

*sigh* why didn't I think to do that... Dropbox is the issue. When I duplicate to local files, the issue doesn't persist. When I duplicate to dropbox, it won't let me move the file to local. Well, to the Dropbox forums I go, thank you.

Probably. You can try doing this in a file stored locally. If that has no problem renaming, you'll know it has to do with Dropbox.
FWIW, I have no trouble with this (but I also do not use Dropbox, so I cannot test that hypothesis).
Duplicating files locks the file name
