Can't name the conduit columns as "Shape" #78

When I try to rename the attribute column for any shapefile to "Shape", QGIS returns an error message "Invalid field name. This field name is reserved and cannot be used." . Without renaming the column to Shape, I am not able to create inp file using the conduit shapefile.

Any solution to this problem?

Export your data as a GeoPackage. Add a new column named Shape to the GeoPackage. Re-export the data to a shapefile

After some discussions, the column name "Shape" will be replaced by "XsectShape". In the next versions of the plugin, a deprecation warning will appear.
