Why does my primary field total display xxx Stories on some dBases and xxx Records on others. OK, dumb question, but I had to ask... and it's not in the AT Glossary of Terms.

You need to rename the table, not the field.

Unfortunately, Airtable automatically makes those choices for you. You can change it by renaming the table, and at the bottom, you will see a pop-up list of a few preselected nouns to choose from.

Hope this helps!

Thank you. Renamed the 'Single Line Text' table from 'Associations' to 'Item' but still says 'Stories'. And don't see a pop-up; except for the additional pop-up for 'None, Empty, Filled, etc.'

Try clicking on this dropdown:


After selecting "Project", this shows up for me at the bottom left:

Not seeing that drop-down option list. Only the normal 'Edit Field', 'Duplicate Field', etc. choices. Am I missing something?
