Field Name not change?

I have a Column, type: Lookup. The original name is "Country LK".

Then I use Power App customize my form, but I don't touch this field.

I rename it in List Setting: the new name is "Country_Apply". The name of this column display in Views changed. But in the Form, the old name still there?

I go back to Power App and see in the Display Form and the Panel Setting, there is 2 name of a field.

Can anybody help me?

  • The name as it appears on your Form is set once at the time you chose to customize your List Form using PowerApps. After that it's not automatically kept in sync if you change your field's name (Display Name). Your Form will keep working though because internally it references your field by it's Internal Name.

    You can edit your Form in PowerApps and rename the Field's label manually. Alternatively if you didn't make customizations to your form yet you could revert to your default form and regenerate your PowerApps form as described in more detail in below blog:

      Thanks, paulpascha .

      The manual way you talking about:

      I go Card -> Advance -> Unlock to change property -> Change DisplayName. Right?

       

       

      I have more question about the picture above:

      DataField and Default, what are they and what purpose they use for?
