How to name column names

[Koya1]

Hi All 

When creating a new column, the column name is a combination of "scope" and "column label". What should I do if I use column names without the scope?

Hi Koya,

Yes that is by design; if you are in some scope it adds scope as prefix and then the column name;

it helps to differentiate fields with same name in different scopes

if you don't want the scope name then create that field in global scope; it would come with u_my_custom_test

Mark ✅ Correct if this solves your issue and also mark 👍 Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
Thanks

Hi Koya,

The system adds a namespace identifier to the front of application artifacts such as tables, scripts, and configuration records.

The identifier cannot be changed or removed from application artifacts to ensure that they are always associated to the proper application and that they have a unique name

Element	Requirements	Sample Value
The prefix characters for a scoped application.	Scoped applications always start with an x_ prefix.	x_
The instance customer prefix (glide.appcreator.company.code)	This string is two to five characters long. ServiceNow generates this prefix for each customer. The instance stores the prefix in the glide.appcreator.company.code system property.	acme
The application ID	This string can be up to 40 characters long. Application developers set this ID when they create the application. The system uses the application name by default.	book_rooms

If my answer helps you please mark as correct/helpful.
