Enhancement

ArcGIS Pro allows the option to view both field names and alias' when using Calculate Field, so users sometimes type in the alias rather than the field name leading to a generic error, 'Field name does not exist'. The request is to notify the user via an error that they have entered an alias instead of a field name
