Hi Jose, we actually don't plan to allow this.
As you said, earlier we use name both as the saved value in the database and the display property. This did not work out so well, since people wanted to have multiple names pointing to the same database value (code), translation of names, be able to change the name after you had captured data and so on. So we introduced a code. The only viable automatic upgrade path was to set code = name. The reason for not allowing edits to codes is that data which is already captured using that code will the "disappear". Now the way to do this is through SQL directly against the database. First you change the code, then you change existing data values in the database to match the new code. This requires some care not to mess things up;) I am sure we can help you with this. regards, Lars
