How to Reset the Asset Export Counter in Adobe Illustrator (Latest Version)?

When exporting assets (e.g., illustrations, icons) using the Asset Export Tool, Illustrator automatically appends an incremental counter to the filenames (e.g., asset_1.png, asset_2.png, etc.). However, I need to reset this counter to start again from 1, but I cannot find any built-in option to do so.

What I’ve Tried:

Deleting and Re-adding Assets:

• I removed all assets from the Asset Export panel and re-added them, but the counter continued from where it left off instead of resetting.

Checking the Gear Icon Settings:

• I explored the settings in the gear icon within the Asset Export panel, but it only provides options for export formats (e.g., PNG, JPG) and does not include a counter reset option.

Renaming Assets Manually:

• I tried renaming the assets manually, but the counter still increments automatically during export.

Questions:

Is there a hidden setting or method to reset the Asset Export counter in Illustrator?

If not, could this feature be added in a future update?

It would be incredibly helpful for workflows that require exporting assets in multiple batches.

Are there any scripts or workarounds that Adobe recommends to reset the counter?
