Hi,

I'm working on 2 environment in PowerApps.

Development Environment and Stage Environment.

For development, we have different table names and for stage there are different table names.

I want that, like in development if I change table name in 1 place then the same table name will automatically change in other places too.

Is there any way to do the same in powerapps?

If there is please let me know. Because we are changing those table names manually and it takes like a whole day.

Hi @DBTS7 ,

You have caused yourself a bit of work here, but you can use the Find and Replace in your Search in the left pane and the select Replace All at the bottom

Hi @WarrenBelz
Yes I use find and replace technique to change table names everywhere. But by this, I cannot change in whole application.
Is there any other way like if I change in one place then the same table name will change automatically in whole app?
It's a big project so find and replace technique also takes lot of time.

Hi @DBTS7 ,

Firstly you need to disconnect the old tables and then connect the new ones (you will have heaps of errors when you do this). You then should be able to change all the references (one Table at a time) using Find and Replace. Are we referring to the same function here ?

Also, have you considered cloned Table structures (same name and structure for both Tables) - it makes the task enormously easier - you just disconnect the old Tables and re-connect the new ones and it all works instantly.
