Change Entity Control Name

Posted on by 242
I am trying to create a model driven app with multiple grid controls for users. The idea is to be able to switch between experiences and which table is nested. I've achieved the core functionality that I want by using multiple Power Apps Grid Controls on my entity but am running into an issue with getting the front-end UI to be user-friendly / readable. The issue is that I can't seem to change the names of the Power Apps Grid Controls on my table.
 
 
The controls on this page are directly referenced in the "Show As" dropdown in my app.
 
Everything about this works exactly as I want except for the fact that I cannot seem to change the grid control names. I've exhausted every possible click path, google search, asking copilot, etc., and nothing seems to yield any results. The name property seems like it should be a simple field to change, especially given the impact it has on the front-end user interface, but it doesn't seem to be anywhere. Has anyone had any luck changing the name of these controls?

    I should also clarify that sometimes the dropdown loads a "PowerAppsOneGrid_Name" and sometimes it loads as "Power Apps grid control" - so that variability is a little odd.
