Underscores allowed in Data Type fields but convert to camel case automatically...which then breaks custom functions.

Can we access your project?

Current Behavior

https://www.tella.tv/video/camel-case-conundrum-5a6w

I tried naming a data type variable remX_body_m

However, that got converted...

remX_body_m => remXBodyM

...which is fine except that it breaks custom function code.

There area a ton of restrictions in DT and enum names already.

Why allow underscores when it ends up breaking the code?

Expected Behavior

Not allow anything that breaks code automatically

Hi! I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue.
This error has been reported previously.
It's related to the naming conventions in FlutterFlow, and you can find some dos and don'ts at the following link:
https://docs.flutterflow.io/resources/style-guide/#function-naming-conventions.
My recommendation is to use camelCase.

Best regards
