 * I have two items in my PPOM Meta List. The first item with Meta ID #1 has 2 fields
   for ‘name’ and ‘geonick’ which you can see in the image here:
    [https://res.cloudinary.com/ratracegrad/image/upload/v1578866074/Screen_Shot_2020-01-12_at_4.48.14_PM_blyu04.png](https://res.cloudinary.com/ratracegrad/image/upload/v1578866074/Screen_Shot_2020-01-12_at_4.48.14_PM_blyu04.png)
 * When I export fields, I add fields for both ‘name’ and ‘geonick’ by selecting
   the field from the dropdown as shown in this image:
    [https://res.cloudinary.com/ratracegrad/image/upload/v1578866224/Screen_Shot_2020-01-12_at_4.56.15_PM_gmubb1.png](https://res.cloudinary.com/ratracegrad/image/upload/v1578866224/Screen_Shot_2020-01-12_at_4.56.15_PM_gmubb1.png)
 * The ‘geonick’ shows up correctly in the exported file. The problem is getting
   the ‘name’ to export. In the spreadsheet instead of seeing the name as expected,
   I actually see the name of the package that they are ordering. It appears that‘
   name’ is picking up the product name and not the actual ‘name’ that is put in
   the name field. How do I get the ‘name’ field exported correctly?
 * I have 4 PPOM fields: name, geonick, shirt size and raffle ticket. All of them
   export correctly except for the field labeled ‘name’.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fexport-problems-3%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi [@ratracegrad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ratracegrad/),
 * `name` is very generic and keyword term it may be used somewhere in development.
   So I recommend you change `name` to something like `packet_name` 🙂

 * Then how do I export all the orders that have been placed when I was using ‘name’.
   If I change the name of the field then it will only show for new orders.

 * Well, it is true but we can’t challenge the system ;). the ‘name’ is reserved
   and should never be used for fields.
