⚠ Name matching: the Field name below must match your column's internal name exactly — it's case-sensitive. SharePoint sets the internal name when you first create the column, and a name with spaces becomes encoded (e.g.
Due Date → Due_x0020_Date). To keep it clean, create the column with no spaces (like DueDate), then rename the display label afterward if you want spaces. To check an existing column's internal name: edit the column and read the URL — the part after &Field= is it.
💡 Tip: in the Field name box, use your column's internal SharePoint field name — not just the display name. Find my internal field name →
