what does it mean "Total_x0020_number_x0020_of_x002"?

Hello everybody 🙂

 

I'm trying to replicate a sharepoint form cutomized with powerapps.

 

This form is used to enroll students in courses that have a limited number of participants.

 

The form is made up of the following Data Cards:
- Last Name
- First name
- Course
- email
- Electives
- Lectures
- Dates
-Places Available
- Note
- Elective ID
- Booked


in the "Booked" DataCard there is an input type field called DataCardValue_Booked.

The following code is present in the Default property of this field:

 

If(SharePointForm1.Mode = 1;LookUp('Electives List'; ID = ComboBox_Corsi.Selected.Id;
Total_x0020_number_x0020_of_x002); Parent.Default)

 

- Where 'Elective List' is the name of the list
- ComboBox_Courses is the name of the combobox through which you choose the type of course.

 

I can't understand what Total_x0020_number_x0020_of_x002 means

I know Sharepoint uses x0020 to identify spaces in urls, so I'm assuming this piece of code comes from a url.

I hope someone can help me understand, thanks in advance 🙂

    Hi @FedeCandotto 

    "Total_x0020_number_x0020_of_x002" is the name of a SharePoint column.

    SharePoint columns have an internal name and an external name.

    The most likely thing here is that the original name of the column was "Total number of", and it was subsequently changed to "Booked".

    When we change a SharePoint column name, the external name changes but the internal name remains the same. This would explain this behaviour.

    Thank you very much!

     

    That was precisely the problem.


    The form I was customizing (list_2) is based on a list that was created based on an identical list (list_1).
    In list_1 the column name has certainly been renamed, but in list_2 replicated by me "booked" is perceived by powerapps as the original name of the column.


    Here's why the original name didn't work.
