Thank you. That will be helpful. This is straight forward when directly dropping controls based on concrete fields from the screen's primary table. It's a different situation when the field is an abstraction of some sort.

Hello BuviJ,

As of now, you can only achieve this by renaming those on the caption. I can put in a feature request with our team to handle this better in the future.

How do I change a Control Name (id?) in the Designer?

BuvinJ — Mon, 24 Sep 2018 23:02:21 GMT

I have added some controls, which need to be hooked up with custom logic in order to be populated (and sloted into an existing algorythm on the View Contact screen).

I can't set the control names / ids. So while I might be to build some logic for them, they will never be easy to deal with in the future. I found that playing with the captions had some effect, but in general this seems to automated and out of one's control. As it is now, I have controls with meaningless names like "Input" and "Text" that I can't seem to name myself.

I assume I'm missing something very simple. Where/how does one edit this basic attribute?
