Changing column titles ? Can't see how to

I don’t mean the title, I mean the column titles that get allocated ie:

text4
numbers7

etc they’re not at all intuitive and I’m sure they can be changed somewhere I just can’t see how to.

Hey @BigLarry! Ah, you’re referring to the column IDs :slight_smile:

Column IDs are randomly generated and cannot be changed. In the same way that items and boards have IDs that are unique and used to reference that specific, the column ID is the same.

If you’d like to access a particular column and only know its name, I would recommend first making an API call to get the columns on your board and using that to look up the column ID.

I will also submit a feature request on your behalf to potentially reference columns by name instead of ID!
