I get it - really I do, if you want all your records in a table to be referred to as something else.

But I want to just fix mine to go back to being 'records' instead of 'events'

Yeah, it's an extremely poorly-implemented feature.

Not only does it make its own random guesses on your behalf, but also you can't even choose your own terminology if it doesn't exist on their predefined list of 40 nouns. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

You have to go into the "rename table" option to remove the wrong record naming convention that they automatically applied for you.

Thank you Scott!  I knew I had seen it somewhere but have no clue. Too many half thought out features without solid use case implementation.
