For example, each new table got a default "name" field as the primary field, how to rename this field or other new added fields?

    This is really a Dataverse question rather than a portal question.  At the time when you create a Table you change the default "name" to be something else, but after it is created you can only change the Display Name.

    To change after creation:

    • the Maker interface make.powerapps.com 
    • make sure your environment is correct in the top right of the screen
    • in the LHS menu go solutions 
    • Open either the your existing solution or the Default solution
    • Select Tables
    • Find your table, click to open it
    • Click "Columns" in the 'schema' section box
    • Find the column in question, click it to edit it.
    • Save and Publish

    @Fubar at the time when creating a new table, there's no option to change the default primary field "name", that's the issue:

    Create the table from the 'Maker' interface make.powerapps.com

    Hi @jwnz 

    You can select the option shown below to edit the table in Power Apps.

    When the Power Apps/Dataverse designer opens, you can choose the Schema > Columns item to rename or to edit the columns in your table.
