Tables & field types — Add fields (2)

The first field is what your records are called — its value is the record's name everywhere it appears: the grid's first column, relation chips, search results, notifications. There is no separate name field to add. Because of that, the first field has to be a type that can identify one record — text, a number, a date, an email, or an auto number — so a link, a file, a calculation, or a repeating choice like a Select or a yes/no can't lead the table. RowFold blocks the move and says why. Reordering fields so a different one comes first renames every record in the table, so those two arrows ask you to confirm. Changing fields you already have Edit the existing fields directly in the list — rename them, switch a type, change a Select's options, tick Required on forms. Change as many as you like: the rows you have touched are highlighted, and one Save changes at the bottom of the list saves all of them together. If any single change can't be applied — a formula that doesn't compile, or a type the first field isn't allowed to be — nothing is saved at all, the reason appears against that row, and everything else you typed stays on screen so you can fix the one and save again.
