@VMNaude alternate names are used to identify common elements across all themes.

For example, in your theme you might have “brand color” and my theme might have “main color” so primary\_color can be added as an alternate name to link both unique names back to the brand kit.

There is no such field as tertiary, so you just need to remove it as an alternate name and you should be good to go.

You can read more about the usage of alternate\_names and see what standard names are accepted here:
