What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Failed to copy: failed to make directory: invalidRequest: Name is reserved for list forms folder

This error occurs when attempting to create a path part with forms in it. Case does not seem to matter. For example:

Forms/Office Misc/Other Misc/TAX EXEMPT.PDF

We're hoping we can get an option that will allow automatically renaming such path parts. Instead of the above path, perhaps something like this:

_Forms/Office Misc/Other Misc/TAX EXEMPT.PDF

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)
rclone v1.67.0-beta.7971.181ed5566
- os/version: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro 23H2 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 10.0.22631.3737 (x86_64)
- os/type: windows
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.22.3
- go/linking: static
- go/tags: cmount
Which OS you are using and how many bits (e.g. Windows 7, 64 bit)

Windows, 64 bit

Which cloud storage system are you using? (e.g. Google Drive)

OneDrive

The command you were trying to run (e.g. rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

rclone copy Source: Target:

A log from the command with the -vv flag (e.g. output from rclone -vv copy /tmp remote:tmp)

Available on request, though I think this is pretty straightforward.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with rclone copy Source: Target: and trace the OneDrive directory-creation path for the forms name error. Define the option's rename behavior and verify that affected path parts are created with the alternate name instead of failing.
