    Can you also attempt to Rename the form and see if it also gives you the error?  What version of OneStream are you currently using?

    I tested this in the latest release (9.2) and see the same behavior, I am able to create a new form with the naming convention you have, but if I attempt to rename it with a similar naming convention it throws the error.

    I would recommend opening a support case so the support team can look at this with you and possibly log this as a defect.  If it will not allow you to do a rename or copy with this naming convention, it should also not allow this via a new form created from scratch.

    Thank You

I am currently using the version 8.5.1.
By trying to rename it, it throws the error.

I already opened a case and I guess the issue will be corrected in the next release of OS.

    Thank You for logging a case, it helps us track the customers who are facing these issues.

    For an alternative naming convention, you could use an underscore (_) vs using a period or dash.
