Hi All,

Please can you confirm if after changing the Record ID (which is also a key field) name for a different name there will be no impact on the formulas and relationship?

Thank you.

There will be no impact on formulas in relationships by such a change. It is possible that changing a field name would cause a pipeline to fail but the failure scenarios are not well documented for that.


However I personally find it unconventional to change the name of the Record ID field. I understand that it is a great field to use for auto numbering for example for orders or tickets, but what I personally prefer to do is to make a mirror field called say [ticket number] which has the formula of [Record ID].
