Using variables in Umbraco Forms workflow action (Email with template)

I want Umbraco Forms to send a confirmation email after submitting the form. For this I have added the Send email with template workflow action and specified “{email}” as the recipient. Works fine!

However, when I change the label of this email field in my form to “emailaddress” - while keeping the field alias “email” - it starts complaining: ‘Email’ setting has not been set. Parameter name: Email.

Is there a way to configure the workflow action to use field aliases rather than the field labels when parsing Umbraco Form fields?

I prefer using the alias because it is independent of the label (can be translated, quite long, …).
