I changed the primary field in a source table. I also want that to be the primary field in an existing synced table, but the primary field doesn’t change.

If I go to “Update sync configuration” and then “Edit synced fields”, then select “Specific fields in the source...” it does not give an option to change the primary field, like you can when first creating the sync.

I’m syncing a view from the source table, so I could create an identical, duplicate view there and then change my sync to point to the new view, but I worry about how that will impact all the lookups I have configured. Will I need to redo them all, even though the fields will actually be the same? So I’m hoping there’s a way for the synced table to use the new primary field from the source.

Yeah, I don’t think there’s a way to change the primary field of a synced table at this point I’m afraid.  May want to open a support ticket to double check

re: Will I need to redo them all, even though the fields will actually be the same?

Yeap, unfortunately.  You can try changing the source of the original linked field to be the new table so that you retain all the lookup fields, but each of those will error out and you’ll need to click into them and set them up again.  You’ll also lose your links when you change the source like that depending on how your data’s set up I’m afraid

 

Okay, thanks for the information, even if it wasn’t the answer I was hoping for. =)
