“In most cases, you shouldn’t need to change the primary field in your table. However, if you need to do so, such as after importing a CSV, we recommend that you first create a new, empty column. Then, click the primary field header cell to select all cells in the column, then use Ctrl+X (Cmd+X on Mac) to cut those cell values. Next, you’ll paste those values (Ctrl+V/Cmd+V) into the empty column. Finally, you can copy and paste cell values from another field into the primary field.”

I recommend you make it easier for us to change the primary field. Thanks.

I would like to add to this, that it should be possible to hide the primary field. It is still primary, but why is it mandatory to show it?

I'm struggling here.

I'm importing a query where I can't change the order of the columns - via Email Data Sync. Upon import, I cannot choose the primary field - even though the data source I'm importing from won't let me re-order the columns without a lot of additional work. I want to use Email Data Sync to lock the tables and not worry about writing code (especially upsert logic).

 

I would love to see some native functionality to accomplish this.
