Change Name in Field Properties

[sbolton]

Can i change the 'Name' field after i saved the form.   For example i didnt realize it was saving as a generic u_choice_3 field i presumed that it would be u_action.

Yes, you certainly can.

1. Log in as an administrator and type "Table" in the navigation filter at the top left and open the "Tables & Columns" module.
2. Once you have opened this module scroll down to the table where you created this new column (i.e. if you were editing the Incident form then it would be part of the Incident Table)
3. Once you have selected the table, click "Edit Table"
4. From here you can find the column that you named "Name", double click it and rename it to whatever you want.
   • NOTE:   The U_ will always remain at the beginning to denote a user created column (the same would be true for a user created table).
