I have couple of Auto-Playlists in my library and I want to sync them with my device.
If the name of my Auto-playlist is "Trance Playlist" I want all the songs in that playlist to be copied to a folder named "Trance Playlist" on my device.
The naming template I use to copy the music in my playlist to my device is "<Playlist>\<Artist> - <Title>", but the folder that is created for every playlist on the device is "Unknown Playlist".
Is it a bug or is there anything else that I should do?

there is an option in the device synch settings to save files to a separate folder for each playlist.

Thanks. It's almost what I wanted!

How can I ask it to follow my naming template? It automatically changes the file names to <3-digit-track-number>-<Artist>-<Title> on my device.

It's somewhat buried...
Preferences > Tags (2) > Tag Handling > Fields > Configure Fields > Formatting > Disc-Track# format.
Changing it to "0-0" will give you what you're looking for.

It doesn't work. The filenames are still <3-digit-track-number>-<Artist>-<Title> on my device.

Any solution?

Is there anywhere that I can edit the settings to solve this problem?

If you're syncing each playlist to its own folder, you will always get the playlist number at the beginning.  You'd need t request and change on the wishlist
