[WriteLog] UDPListener with WSJT-X on FD

I am having a problem with WSJT-X logging fro Field Day in Writelog.

Here is what I am running:

Windows 11
WSJT-X ver 2.6.1 (latest download)
Writelog UDPListenerV11
Omnirig ver 1.20
Writelog ver 12.79F full
Kenwood TS-590SG

With a fresh install and default settings for a new FD log, everything works.

However, if I change the Entry window heading from "RCV" to "CLA", Writelog no longer receives the FD class from UDPListener.

Interestingly enough, if I change the Entry window heading from "QTH" to "SEC" it still imports the section correctly.

Maybe just an annoyance, but I like the headings "CLA" and "SEC" much better than the default FD headings.

Here is a test case.

If the WSJT-X log window has the following entries:
Call: w2aw
Rpt Sent: blank
Rpt Rcvd: 1b
Grid: blank
Exch sent: 2a az
Exch rcvd: 2b eny

UDPListener shows:
OK <call:4>w1aw <gridsquare:0> <mode:3>FT8 <rst_sent:0> <rst_rcvd:2>1b <qso_date:8>20240423 <time_on:6>011234 <qso_date_off:8>20240423 <time_off:6>011234 <band:3>20m <freq:9>14.075500 <station_callsign:6>WA2DFI <my_gridsquare:4>DM43 <contest_id:14>ARRL-FIELD-DAY <SRX_STRING:6>2b eny <class:2>2b <arrl_sect:3>eny <eor>

Writelog logs:
W1AW 1B ENY

Writelog seems to get the section from the "Exch rcvd" field in the WSJT-X log window, and the class from the "Rpt Rcvd" field in the log window. The "class" and "arrl_sect" fields in the UDP stream are correct, but Writelog seems to pull the class from the "rst_rcvd" field.

While I do have a workaround (leave the "RCV" field name alone) any help would be appreciated. This year will be my 57th ARRL FD in a row, and I have used Writelog for over 20 years, and it is the best and easiest to use of the contenders that support every contest. Our networking started with daisy-chained serial cables; we now use WiFi. But I digress...

73,
