Calculated field for GA4 data with duplicate field names

I am trying to create a calculated field for my GA4 data source. I want to use the field 'Event name' (with lower case 'n' for 'name') but, when I start typing, it only gives me the option to add 'Event Name' (with upper case 'n' for 'name'), which is the wrong field. I have tried multiple different ways to add in 'Event name' but it is always converted to 'Event Name'. I have tried deleting my site data for Looker and trying again but it still happens. I think this might be a bug.

Have created a calculated field in Looker Studio or a Custom Dimension (or any other field in GA) named "Event Name"? Any default GA data source doesn't include a dimension with this specific name...so it is probably due to your context.

You just need to rename it to "Custom Event Name" to fix the problem.

I hope it helps.
