Research direction

Start by reproducing a Tableau workbook with a calculated field nested inside another calculated field, then trace how calculated-field names are read or written in the Python library. Done means the nested field displays its calculated field name rather than a name beginning with "Calculation_".

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

bug question

If the calculated field formula contains another calculated field, the name can not be displayed correctly.

It will display as "Calculation_..." instead of the calculated field name.
