I have a collection with a column named "Dye Date".

I corrected the sharepoint list column from "Dye Date" to "Due Date", but the apps still works with the collection column "Dye Date". How can I update the collection column name ?

For instance, it's used here :

UpdateIf(

colGridUpdates,

ID = ThisItem.ID,

{

Titre: txtTitle.Value,

Description: dpDescription.Value,

'Due Date': dpDueDate.SelectedDate, // Why does it work here ?

Priority: {Value: dpPriority.Selected.Value}

}

)

Patch(

Tasks,

ShowColumns(

colGridUpdates,

"Priority",

"Title",

"Description",

"DyeDate", // why I have to use the old name here ?

"ProjectLookup",

"ID"

)

);

Hi @trogne,

When renaming a column in SharePoint, you are renaming the Display Name. The internal name will remain unchanged.

Within Power Apps certain functions / references use the display name whereas others (ShowColumns, AddColumns, collections...) reference the internal column name. Should you want to avoid this column name difference, the only workaround I am aware of is recreating the column with the correct name and copying the data.

The following similar topics may provide more information:

If this solves your question, would you be so kind as to accept it as a solution & give it a thumbs up.

Thanks!
