Hello, everyone.

As title, is there any way to create table without any default columns in power platform solution?

When I create new table in dataverse, there are so many default columns created together and cannot delete those things.

Please let me know if you know any useful tips.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @danbi1991 ,

No, there is not. These columns are required for handling multiple internal capabilities within Dataverse from auditing to ownership of records, and much more. You can view only the custom columns if you like with the drop down shown in the screen shot below and this will hide all of the system columns created.

Hope this helps. Please accept if answers your question or Like if helps in any way.

Thanks,

Drew

@dpoggemann is correct all of the columns included are required by various features of Dataverse. These cannot be removed at this time.

Hello @danbi1991

As suggested by @dpoggemann there is no way to stop the same.

Uses :

1. Primary ID for the Entity
2. Primary Name for the Entity
3. Created by and Modified By User
4. Created on and Modified on Date

These are all mandatory for a table to store the data.

If you add a prefix to the column names you add to the Dataverse table, its easy to search and filter on them later on.
