Describe the Issue

The problem I am experiencing is that I have two profiles set up in the Hekili addon: Default and Minion. When I type /hek profile in the chat window, both profiles show as valid. However, when I try to switch to either of these profiles by typing /hek profile Default or /hek profile Minion, I receive an "Invalid profile name ...." chat message. This indicates that the addon is not recognizing the profile names I am trying to use.

Open the Hekili addon and navigate to the profile management section.
Create two profiles, such as Default and Minion.
Verify that both profiles show as valid when typing /hek profile in the chat window.
Attempt to switch to either of the profiles by typing /hek profile Default or /hek profile Minion.
Observe the "Invalid profile name ...." chat message and note that the addon is not recognizing the profile names.
