Cannot launch Battlefield 1 through Playnite

I have Battlefield 1 on Origin. I've added it to Playnite by updating the Origin game library, but I can't launch it through Playnite because it tries to run bf1Trial.exe instead of bf1.exe. I assume it's got the wrong game ID or something like that.

I can still add the game manually instead of through Origin integration, but I'd just like to bring this to the attention of whoever is in a position to fix it, as it's clearly not ideal. I'm happy to report that this is the only game I've had any issues with so far though.

Cheers.

There will be more instances of BF1 imported, you need to launch the correct one and remove others.

That is unfortunately not the case. Here's a screenshot of me searching for Battlefield 1 after having removed all filters and double-checked that no addon could be interfering. The result for Battlefield 1 you see launches bf1Trial.exe.

Weird, I'll look into it.

Nevermind! I thought I'd looked everywhere but hadn't seen the import exclusion list, and there it was. The right entry for Battlefield. I must have hidden what I thought was a duplicate and forgotten about it.
I now have enough evidence to convince me that I am in fact an idiot. I'm sorry for wasting your time.
