edit form new datasource

typical powerapp: gallery to select record, edit form to edit the record.

 

I want to change the datasource to another SP list with exactly the same columns with the same names.

 

I removed the current connection, renamed the new list to the old name and reconnected. That went well and the datasource is showing the correct list.

 

However, all the field names in the edit form were changed to "field 37", etc. I hate to let powerapps rebuild the edit form because there are far too many columns and some of the settings are rather intricate.

 

Has anyone encountered this issue?

    I think I figured out the answer. MS changed any of my keycard values that were not the default. Thanks to everyone who looked.
