API Request- External id with column

OVERVIEW

We rely heavily on a test and live environment and a killer for us is matching the column ids between the live and test iSheets. This could be solved by introducing the concept of external ids (as used by iSheet records) into column. The external id would be set during creation and used for updating. I.e. update using external id or column id. This would allow the one ID to be used between both iSheets

Do you think this could be introduced?

Thank you, David Corrin and Andrew Quinn for the feature request. I will add this improvement to the backlog however it might not be possible to address this in the next major release. The internal ID for the improvement request is CFR-531


Hi David Corrin, that makes sense as auto-discovering column (id's) based on column name isn't the most fool-proof as it only takes a Site Admin to 'fix' a typo and all of a sudden no matching column. We do something similar (called columnAlias) which is a camel-cased label of the field at creation, i.e. "Solicitor's Name" = "solicitorsName". This never changes in the columns lifetime.
