Column names, sharepoint lists.

Hi,

 

I am a bit confused by the column names in the Lists app. And that makes it fifficult to use Power automate later.

 

My Lists app:

 

 

List settings, columns

 

 

View all Items selection:

 

 

Where is for eaxmple "Aktiviteter" column in the list settings?

 

Best Regards

Geir

    Hogstad_Raadgivning you appear to have renamed the Title column to Aktiviteter but Title is still the name in the background and so will be used by Power Automate etc.

      Thank you for your responce RobElliott. That was my thought as well. But the title columnt is still there. I Starte with one of the tempaltes in the List app. So teh column is renamed. But I cant see the original somewhere.

       

      The column "dato" is not showing in Power automate... 

       

      Here is the Title column.

       

       

       

      Best regards

        Hogstad_Raadgivning - Renaming a column in SharePoint simply changes the display name and not the underlying "internal name" for the column. This is to keep scripts and code from breaking when a column is renamed. If you want to use an existing column with a different internal name, then create a new column with the desired name and optionally delete the old column (can't do this with some columns such as Title).
