Request to Disable Automatic Column Renaming in Templates

ยท
ยท

Can you guys please disable automatic renaming of columns, or give us the option to disable it? We have dozens of templates set up and its a huge pain to have to go back and rename the columns away from whatever GPT decides to rename my template to after we add it. For an agency managing a ton of clients, with a ton of employees, it is super tedious and problematic to automatically remove the standardization we work painstakingly to create through SOPs and templated columns. Please please please all I want for XMAS is to not have to manually reset every, single. column name. every. time

    You can maintain your standardized column names by right-clicking on any column that has been automatically renamed and selecting "Rename." This will allow you to set your preferred column name.While there isn't currently a setting to disable automatic column naming, you can quickly restore your standardized names using this method. For consistent column management, you can also:** Right-click columns to edit their properties ** Use the rename function to maintain your naming conventions * Save your preferred column names in your templatesI understand this is causing friction in your workflow, and I'll make sure to pass this feedback along to our product team about having an option to disable automatic renaming.
