“Is there a way in Ninox to get the display name of the current table through a script? I don’t want the tableId (which returns a unique ID)

“I’m looking for a function similar to tablename() in other systems, but it seems Ninox doesn’t provide it. Is there any workaround?”

    Since there is no command to do it there are work arounds. I saw demonstrate a solution where you have a table that stores the table name and then you have the appropriate record in table name table linked to each record in the other tables.

       Hi Fred, long time no see! That’s a smart solution — thank you!

    You can get this by API also... If you have a public cloud or a private cloud:

    let postUrl := "https://api.ninox.com/v1/teams/" + teamId() + "/databases/" + databaseId() +
    "/tables/" +
    tableId(this);
let postHeaders := {
        Authorization: "Bearer " + YOURAPIKEY,
        Accept: "application/json"
    };
let response := do as server
        http("GET", postUrl, postHeaders, {})
    end;
let resp := response.result;
Tablename := resp.name

    This only works in a button. Also "Tablename" is a text-field.
