Hi @Element115
Thanks for using Fabric Community.
This is not a bug. This is an expected behaviour. When you use the concat keyword to concatenate two strings in the dynamic expression builder, the '@' symbol will appear at the start.
You can refer to the below links for more information:

Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further queries.
