i want to creat a collection of “weigth”:  
proberty 1 = date/time (date/time)  
proberty 2 = weihgt (numeric)  
proberty 3 = link to user (collection: user)  
when i create the collection adalo first creates a proberty called “Name” - i dont need this property “Name” and want to delete it - but i cannot delete this property - there is a “lock” instead of an “waste paper pin” - button for deleting …  
how can i delete this proberty “Name”?

Click and Drag name property to below, then you can delete it.

I read it somewhere, but when I search them for your reference, I am unable to find it.

Am I crazy or does this no longer work? I can’t drag it to a different position.

The first field must be type TEXT and it cannot be deleted. Just rename it to a field that you do need?  
In order to move it, you must have a text field as your second field.

Thank you for letting me know.  
It seems like a rather redundant rule since there already is a key column in place.

I’m guessing the rule is there to insure that there is some kind of text to display for the row? 😕

Yes I’m not sure why. The row ID was made available about a year ago. I guess it is for relationships and drop downs too.
