Shape Attribute as SHAPE not Shape

In ArcMAP the Shape attribute ws always in capital letters > SHAPE when ist was created in a fGDB

Now with ArcGIS Pro ist is written like this > Shape

We have Software that is Case Sensitive for the Shape attribute. It makes ist highly complex to change everything. We would suggest changing it back to the way we know it.

With the OBJECTID it's still the upper Case writing. So it seems to be possible.

If it is really not possible to change, we suggest to at least change the way SHAPE is written when creating a new FC. In the promt, where I can add new columns it is written as SHAPE and in the table its is Shape. It was very frustrating to find the problem.

Another problem with all this is: when I copy Data with ctrl+c and paste it inside another fGDB the SHAPE column is still in big letetring. But when I use Esri tols it is in lower case. This was very confusing and hard to find out, when and why it did that.

That's why we suggest to align everything to one format
