Updating Table backend name

[ArpitB207098286]

I'm trying to update the backend name of the table of a scoped application via xml, it is getting updated but the label also gets updated showing 'label' only.

Is there any other way to updated the table backend name?

Hi @ArpitB207098286 

i prefer not to do this via XML, if it is just a start better create a new table and use it.

Hi @ArpitB207098286,

I think it is not good idea to change a table's name, I was actually thinking that was not possible to do...

To avoid future problems, delete the table with an incorrect name and create a new instead.

It is only possible by creating a Support Case. The appropriate Support Team can do it from the database, lots of records to update to prevent data loss. Why is the changing the table name required when user see the table's Label?

Export the data, delete the table, then re-create it, and try importing the records. However you will need to edit each record's XML to change the name value before importing.

I see what you show when there is no Collection record for the table. (sys_dictionary record for the table with column_name empty). Seems a problem with the table creation.

what's the purpose to play with XML for changing the fields on table?

why not capture that in update set and migrate that update set?
