Are you setting both Network Name and SSID values in your profile?
Network name: Enter a name for this Wi-Fi connection. This value is the name that users see when they browse the list of available connections on their device.

Hello!
Yes I'm Setting both values but the names are different.
No, the network is not hidden.
Yes I see the ssid in the known networks (and on iphone I can see the provided networks in the section named "your networks") but the network does not have the custom network name that I insert in the field, but the SSID
All the connections work well.The SSID is visible
