Save As Does Not Change Filename on Tab

I have tried over and over again to set up an action to Merge Visible and Save As. The merge visible works. The save as works, except it does not change the name of the file on the tab. Therefore, the next save command does not show the latest filename. Using Photoshop version 22.4.1 on Windows 10 PC.

Did you try Flattening so there is just a background layer that has no transparecy at all? If the merges layers can have transparency Save As in 22.4 will not be able to save a jpeg.

JJMack. Thanks for the response. I was not clear. I was trying to save a standard Photoshop PSD file, not a JPEG. The operation has always worked before, and in fact is seemed to be working correctly a day or two ago. There is something flaky going on with the coding (an unitialized variable for those who know programming).

Why do you want to create an action? It is just two shortcuts Shift+Ctrl+E and Shift+Ctrl+S... Even in the Action you need to make the Save As step interactive so you can set the destination path and the new PSD file name to want it to have. The Tab file Name should changes for Photoshop should now switch to editing the new saved PSD and leave the original PSD as it was before the merging.
