Can't name a formula "H"...automatically renames to 'h'

[JohnMaty]

Hi Everyone

I am helping my daughter with her science project on Wheel of Fortune and the frequency for letter usage.  I just noticed that the formula tool will not allow you to name a formula 'H'.  It automatically renames it to 'h'.  Is this a bug or is this one of those reserved name issues.

Just curious.

I just tested and was able to use "H" to name a formula (or technically, the name of the new field calculated by the formula).

Were you doing something more complex?

[JohnMaty]

No I am doing a very simple length formula

LENGTH([Puzzle]) - LENGTH(REPLACE([Puzzle], 'H', ''))

I am using version 2018.3.5.52487

I am able to create a field named "H" in a new workflow. Is there already a field called "h" going into the formula tool? It will use the pre-existing "h" if it already exists and replace the "H" you enter in that case.

I checked in the workflow who knows and nothing else is named "H".  So i deleted the formula and remade it.  Voila it is now able to be named "H"

It is honestly the strangest thing!
