What happened?

We created a dedicated solution (manually) on the CRM. The DisplayName contains some "-" characters example : "CGI - Controls". D365 translate this DisplayName without any spaces or special characters (CGIControls) but not PCF Builder.

In the section "Dataverse Solution Details", when we click on "Use Existing Solutions" and select our solution the readonly field named "Unique Name" is automatically filled as "CGI-Controls" and it's not right name. When we click on "Export and Add Control" the error appears.

Hi, I found a workaround : When you select "Use existing solution" and select the solution, if you click on "Edit Control" again, the Unique Name and all the Publish section are cleared.
Select again the solution targeted in "Friendly name", the information are filled again but the "unique name" isn't in read-only mode anymore : you can delete the specials characters.
