Description

If there is a space in a field name used for photo name, it would be stripped from the name. For example, if the field is Photo Cam Nummer then in the QGIS project file it would be PhotoCamNummer. Please see the attribute names and its corresponding entries for photo name expressions in the QGIS project file.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in a QGIS project using a photo-name field with spaces, then inspect the attribute names and corresponding photo-name expression entries in the QGIS project file. Trace how the photo attachment configuration writes those entries; done means names such as Photo Cam Nummer remain unchanged in the saved project file.
