Removed Fundamental Data Fields?

Seeking Help Using Data

Hello,

I'm trying to use some of the earnings fields from Fundamental data but it keeps erroring saying the field does not exist even though it is documented.

Some of the fields that are erroring:
-basic_eps
-diluted_eps
-normalized_basic_eps
-normalized_diluted_eps

Am I doing something wrong or is the documentation outdated?
If it's documentation issue, how often is that updated?

Thank you

Karl,
Thank you for sharing the post. I've just been playing around in the backtester so I'm not sure about eps per-share in the research environment
