PI follows standard naming convention. Allowed starting characters only (a-z)(A-Z).

What is the necessity to use underscore as staring character in your field?

That is the requirement we have in mapping document to add new fields . this datatype is in production also with underscore and names . I don't know how they created it .

yes . the warning message is Allowed starting characters only (a-z)(A-Z). but the same datatype is in prod with underscore and numbers.

What exactly are you viewing in production - a data type? You could be viewing an external message. Reconfirm.
