SSH terminal session logging path variable issue

Hi Support team,

I noticed if try and log to a UNC path to a hidden share the $NAME$ variable doesn't populate. Examples below.

\\san\ittemp$\vendor\TermLogs\%USERNAME%\$DATE_YEAR$\$DATE_MONTH$-$DATE_DAY$-$DATE_YEAR$\$NAME$ ($HOST_WITH_PORT$) - $DATE_MONTH$-$DATE_DAY$-$DATE_YEAR$.log

The log file will be named:
$NAME$ (10.1.x.x) - 5-22-2026.log

If I change it to a mapped drive, where I map B: to \\san\ittemp$ (it work properly)
B:\vendor\TermLogs\%USERNAME%\$DATE_YEAR$\$DATE_MONTH$-$DATE_DAY$-$DATE_YEAR$\$NAME$ ($HOST_WITH_PORT$) - $DATE_MONTH$-$DATE_DAY$-$DATE_YEAR$.log
Log file name:
IND-DEVICE (10.1.x.x) - 5-22-2026.log

if I use a nonhidden share, it works proper as well. If I use a custom variable set to the string "\\san\ittemp$", it works this way as well.
$CUSTOM_FIELD1$\vendor\TermLogs\%USERNAME%\$DATE_YEAR$\$DATE_MONTH$-$DATE_DAY$-$DATE_YEAR$\$NAME$ ($HOST_WITH_PORT$) - $DATE_MONTH$-$DATE_DAY$-$DATE_YEAR$.log


Question is.. is this a bug?
Thanks
Sam
