Hey all,

I keep getting an error "Invalid field name error - The data source associated with this component has invalid characters in its field names. Learn more. - Error ID: 6897c632" when trying to use certain dimension or metrics.

I figured it's down to the event names directly in Google Analytics data. Some of them use spaces. To my knowledge, it's not possible to rename them as they are system generated. Any suggestions for a solution?

Thank you kindly in advance for any help.

Hey!
Maybe you can try to rename the event:
