Did I miss the Microsoft Memo or are CDS Entities now called Tables?

    Hi @365-Assist ,

    That is correct. There is a terminology change rolling out this month.

    Entities = Tables

    Fields = Columns

    Records = Rows

    Option Set(s) = Choice(s)

    Two Options = Yes/No

     

    More information below.
