Uppercase column names in the output panel

[emozio]

Currently, the column names appear as uppercase in the output panel. Although there must be an esthetic reason for this design decision, I would argue how this is very inconvenient for detecting the proper casing of column names. I would very much appreciate it if you would revisit this decision or give user the ability to set this casing based on their preference.

Thank you.

P.s. Not particularly a feature request, but rather a quality-of-life improvement.

Hi @emozio, welcome to the forum!

Thank you for your feedback. Here is a workaround for keeping the column names as they are at the database level:

How do you make a table use the field ID as the column name versus making one up itself?

It doesn't matter if I'm using SQL, uploaded spreadsheet etc. All my field names are in snake case, so order_number, transaction_date, customer_msd_code etc. Yet when I add a table to my app and select the query as the data source, it adds all columns like Order number, Transaction date, Customer msd code, etc. Is there a way to stop this as some of my tables have 100+ columns and it's so tedious having to go in and change it all editing each label to be the id instead. It's especially annoy…

Please let us know if this doesn't work for your use case.

Hello @Paulo,

Thanks for responding to my question. I was actually referring to the interface of Retool, rather than the table that is exposed to the end user. In my case, I can see the output of a query inside of a panel Retool provides, but all columns are formatted as uppercase, rather than any actual casing. This must be esthetically more appealing, but I personally find it quite distracting and hard to read whenever column names have different casing.

Thanks for clarifying! I extended your feedback internally. We'll update you here with any progress on this feature.
