Posted on by jonasdedual 19

Hi There

 

I am trying to modify a project from Reza:

https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Community-App-Samples/Kanban-Board-in-Power-Apps/td-p/1485556

 

I am trying to change the column Names in my Sharepoint List to  "Zugewiesen". After that I searched and replaced all "assignedto0" to "Zugewiesen".

 

However I've got  an error that "Zugeweisen" is not recognized.

when changing it to "Assignedto0" it will work.

I have no Idea where this "Assignedto0" is comming from.

 

The formula for displayname is: 

DataSourceInfo([@'Work progress tracker'];DataSourceInfo.DisplayName;"Zugewiesen")

 

When I edit my Sharepoint List, the Name of the Column is "Zugewiesen as well:

    Hi @jonasdedual ,

     

    Maybe it's not the real name of the column.

    Please click on the column and check its url and it will show you the real name.

    Just to clarify this in a bit more detail, SharePoint columns have an internal name and an display name. When you changed "assignedto0" to "Zugewiesen", SharePoint changed the display name but the internal name stayed the same. If you want to change the internal name, you'll need to delete and recreate the column.

     

    The DataSourceInfo function references columns by the internal SharePoint name, and that's the reason for the behaviour that you're seeing.
