Why does Matlab not recognize fieldnames function?

Hi,

Back in the past I used the 'fieldnames' function to retrieve fieldnames. But suddenly it´s not working anymore.

Strangely the function works before starting my script as console input. But as soon as I start my script, the function doesn´t get recognized anymore. It also works in other scripts. See code below.

Thank you in advance!

if length(other_data.digitalMap) == 1 || length(results.digitalMap) == 1
    fieldnames = fieldnames(results.digitalMap);
    for y =1: length(other_data.digitalMap)
        for z = 1:length(fieldnames)-1
            field_name = fieldnames{z};
            results.digitalMap(y).(field_name) = other_data.digitalMap(y).(field_name);
        end
    end
end 

%Strangely the function works before starting my script as console input:

% Create a structure with some fields
myStruct.name = 'John';
myStruct.age = 30;
myStruct.occupation = 'Engineer';

% Get the field names of the structure
fields = fieldnames(myStruct);

You overwrite the "fieldnames" function by setting it to a variable value:

fieldnames = fieldnames(results.digitalMap);

Thank you! Little detail, but this was the solution!
