So it will be nice to be able to choose the name to give to that field.

And too... If it is posible, allow column field name in capital letters, for example "ArtistName", cook, change to "artistname" automatically. I'm trying to make a proyect in cook, and connect this to external Db using the identical fields and properties to tables.

It is possible? I can't rename my table fields, is a project in production. But when I make a copy of individual table and rename fields to make a test, the cook component work fine! Only I need to wait to Cook allow a rename id field, and capital letters in all fields.

Thanks, and I hope :whistle:
