Name
The Name column on a container field defines the name of the field saved to the database. The name must be unique on the page and cannot be the sheet name or one of the reserved values. It must also conform to certain standards to be a valid name.
Uniqueness
Including multiple fields with the same Name on the same container (rows in the same Excel sheet) will result in an error when creating or updating the DataPortal.
Format Restrictions
The Name value must be a valid identifier name in C# and a valid column name in the database engine backing the DataPortal.
If the provided name value is not a valid identifier name, Composable will convert the name into a valid one while creating or updating the DataPortal.
The general recommendation is to use PascalCase
for the Name value.
Reserved Names
The Name value cannot be any of these reserved names:
Id
CreatedByUserName
CreatedById
CreatedDateTime
AclId
Deleted
If a field is included with any of these names an error will be thrown while creating or updating the DataPortal.
