I'm creating several columns in the list. The column name which starts with C replaces the name with_x0043_ for example, the actual column name which I create is "CHA016" but what SharePoint created is_x0043_HA016. Why does it automatically replacing C as_x0043_as internal name? Please help to identify this. Thanks in advance
I could also reproduce this on my end. I tried the actual name as "CH", "CHA" and "CHA0", and their internal names are "CH", "CHA" and "_x0043_HA0". I can't find any official documentation to explain this. To figure out this, you can open a service request in Microsoft 365 admin center to confirm it with Microsoft.

Hope this is something some has a idea on how to solve
I have a folder in ShareoPoint where our team's budget files are added
Each team has a code c1, c2, c3 etc, the file name contains this code
I also have a SharePoint list with these codes with one of the columns being the email addresses of those in that team, this is a person type column, with multiple selections allowed, but this can be easily changed if it helps solution
Is it possible to build a power automate flow so when a file is added to the folder, based on the name of the file and its match on the SP list it would then send a copy of just that file to the right team
I'm familiar with attaching files on automated flows, but so far have only done so based on IF type statements, e.g. If file name contains C1 send to these people then if name contains C2 send those these, etc etc, but this is very manual when new people join a team. Hosting a list on SharePoint would allow the teams to update themselves
I did look into what others may have tried, but can't find anything which seems to match my two biggest issues
how to extract that part of the file name
once I do that how I match against the SharePoint list to generate the right set of email addresses
Thanks in advance

One or more field types are not installed properly.
Go to the list settings page to delete these fields
I got the above error while adding item to list, I Don't have any lookup Column and I also deleted relationship list.
Kindly Help....!
Thanks in advance.
Seems you are adding the item by code. Just verify the column name spelled properly or not.
When ever Events are Handled.most of them used to give column name as it is there in list/library. But I recommend before providing the column make sure that column Name and its internal Name is same.
You can get Column internal Name by using SharePoint Manager Tool
I'm very new to using SharePoint. I have created a custom list that I use as a linked table in Access. As the access database pre-existed, i need the column names in my SharePoint List to match those that are in the Access Database, otherwise all my Reports & Queries etc will not work.
Is there a way to have a separate display name for the columns in my SharePoint List.
For example, the column names are currently like "Innov_Desc", which isn't User friendly. When the users are adding "New Items", I need to display "Description" for example.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

If you are trying to do this change from the the user interface (from settings), I'm afraid it's impossible. You will have to do this change in the code.
Please check the links below to get general idea of what is involve when naming columns:
Finding the internal name and display name for a list column
SharePoint Column/Field Display Names vs Internal Names
You can change the display name to something more user friendly via the UI after the column has been created. The internal name of the column will remain whatever it was at the point of creation.
When I add a new column to a list in WSS3 (SP2, note: not MOSS), the search feature cannot find items by the values in those columns.
What I've done:
Added an issues list (built in)
Added a column called customid of type number to the list
Added a column called customref of type text (single line) to the list
When I add items, the search feature detects them (after indexing is run) by the title, Issue ID (built in), and customref. However, when I search by the customid, it returns no results.
I cannot find any documentation online which indicates that this is a limitation of WSS3.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?
Your time is much appreciated
basically you would have to create a managed property to achieve the functionality you are looking for but i'm afraid that you can not achieve in WSS alternatively you can use search server which is also a free you can find more details about search server at following links

I am using SharePoint 2007. How do I differentiate a user created column (the column that a user creates on his own for a SPList) from the columns that are available by default? Any help would be appreciated.
SourceId is not foolproof. The Microsoft fields put a Microsoft namespace in it. Ones created in the GUI put a web GUID in it (or a list GUID). But ones created via code in third-party or custom solutions may put anything in there -- namespace or GUID.
