Using same variable for weight and control

[James Park]

I would like to use the same variable for weight and control like:

sysuse auto
ivreghdfe price weight (length=trunk) [aw=weight], absorb(rep78)

But it generates error that says

Error: cannot use weight variables as dependent variable, regressor or IV in combination with -partial- option.

Is there any workaround?

James:
provided that it makes methodological sense, you can create a new variable that mirrors -weight-, but under a different name:

sysuse auto
clonevar Weight = weight
ivreghdfe price Weight (length=trunk) [aw=weight], absorb(rep78)
