Refactoring/Renaming DB fields

Applications Database Connections
#1

Hello,

I am about to rename some of my DB fields, in order to give them more descriptive names.
Is there an easy way to accomplish this, without having to setup field assignments for each application anew?

Thanks for your help,
Sascha.

In form app, yes. You can synchronize your table.

Open the form, go to Application, you’ll see the option.

If its a grid app, you must put the field in the SQL Statment in SQL option.

Yes of course, I am aware of that.
The point is: if I change a field from “field_1” to “field1”, SC will treat the latter one as a new field, thus I will lose all settings from the former one, isn’t it?

That’s awful, in case you decide to rename all fields from German to English names for example… :frowning:
