Is there a command that allows you to copy/replicate a section of a filename that could then be inserted elsewhere in the filename?

Current File Name: Architectural Digest - 2019-01-01.pdf

Desired File Name: Architectural Digest (2019-01) - 2019-01-01.pdf 

Thank you, in advance.

Hello

You can use the Inserter / Formatter / Token Mover filter.  Use The "Substring" formatting parameter to select the part of the file name you want to copy/cut.

Thank you, David. Despite being a long time user of the program, I'd never used the "Token Mover" filter before. I knew there was a way to do it!
