duplicate a timeline and rename the new timeline (JSX-API)

Question

I'm trying to copy a timeline and rename it, but it seems that copying and renaming a single timeline works fine.

However, if I copy a new timeline first and then try to rename it, it fails.

Are there any sample code or API examples for this? I'm unsure if the new timeline needs to be activated or if there are any additional steps involved. Thank you.

In UXP, you would use a createCloneAction to make the clone...

...then rename the resultant projectItem.

Right click on the sequence in the Project Panel and choose Duplicate.  You can then rename it in the Project Panel.
