Lookup column, additional fields new naming convention??

Copper Contributor

Hi

I just discovered there must have been a change in the naming convention of the internal name for Lookup columns, additional fields (?).


My old list shows this as internal name:

Field=field01_x003a__x0020_ID

while on a newly created list the internal name is now:

Field=field01_x003a_ID

(the blank after the colon has gone)

Is there a way to rename the internal field to have a blank after the colon?

I am using the same list in different environments (Power Apps app) and I can't have two different naming conventions otherwise the app breaks!

Thanks for any hint!

BTW: Was there some kind of announcement of this change I missed?

I was able to work arount this, by recreating both lists (dev/qa) from scratch. Quite some work though.
