Consistent "filament is wrong" when starting prints

Hi there! I'm not sure if this belongs under MMU3, PrusaSlicer, or Prusa Connect; I'm guessing Prusa Connect.

Every time I schedule a print, I get the "Filament is wrong" dialog. The MMU3 on my MK4 knows the correct filament types from a "load to MMU advanced" operation, and I have all the filaments matching in PrusaSlicer's filament list (in my case, PETG, PETG, PLA, PLA, PLA). I'm using the "Original Prusa MK4 MMU3 0.4mm nozzle" preset.

When I look on Prusa Connect during printing, it correctly knows the filament type. And when I check between print jobs, it shows a single material as being loaded, even though the MK4 unloads the filament back to the MMU3 after the print is complete.

How can I convince Prusa Connect to agree on filament types with my MK4?

Check that the name of the filament is the same in Prusaslicer and Connect. In Prusaslicer the name in under filament/advanced - ensure it matches with connect

If I'm understanding you correctly, the filament names are the same. See attached.

Jessie PLA selected Jesse PLA not changed from default setting of PLA PLA shown in Prusa Connect

This also happens when queuing a print through the Prusa Connect web interface directly. The print file says PLA/PLA on slots 3 and 4, the MMU has PLA loaded in slots 3 and 4, and Prusa Connect knows that. I don't know why the material at the top is showing "PETG" now; there's no loaded filament (everything is loaded only to MMU), and I was last printing PLA.
Filament types match mismatching filament warning still appears
