When we create a folder and attempt to use capital letters or spaces, it automatically changes it to lower case and underscores. We used to be able to use capital letters and spaces.

When we rename the folder, we can use capital letters and spaces.

Was the behavior change expected? I have a video if it’s helpful but it’s not a supported file type, I can try emailing it if it would be helpful but maybe it’s straightforward enough where no video is fine. We do have a workaround (renaming) so it’s not super urgent, but would still be appreciated!

Thanks for raising this issue, @anya.conti!

Yeah this is a confirmed bug on our side. Our team is working on a fix at the moment, and expect to release it in our next deployment. I’ll keep you posted on any update.

My apologies for any inconvenience it has cost, Anya.

Hi again @anya.conti 👋,  
We’ve released a fix just now. You should be able to use spaces and uppercases in your folder name now.  
A small bonus is Holistics will automatically trim off trailing/redundant spaces at the end of the folder name for ease of use.

Please check it out, and let me know if it’s working as expected. Cheers!
