[I raised this before](https://community.thunkable.com/t/quadruple-table-names-in-local-datasource-how-to-rename/2619192) and did not get a suitable answer - When I create a local datasource, the first table is Table 1.
Sometimes when I click + nothing happens so if I end up clicking it 3 times in quick succession I end up with multiple tables named Table 2 which cannot be renamed.
Why can’t tables be renamed since columns can be?
There also seems to be a bug with the table names as I have this now from a project that I copied -

Hello @steve_synopsis
Sorry to see you are having issues with your local data source
The correct way to have multiple tables is here:
This way will be able to rename them.

Hi,
That is for the database, but I am speaking about the tables as below -
How can I rename Table 1 to something more relevant to my app?
Strangely though, I copied [this project](https://x.thunkable.com/projectPage/65316fd3f5f2ffa55473cc9a) which has tables named PickupInfo and ConfirmedPickup but when I create new tables they all have the name Table NaN.
This cannot be correct behaivour.

Are there any updates about this? I still cannot rename tables in local data sources.
Thank you!

The issue with the table’s name has been fixed.
Unfortunately, we don’t currently support changing the table’s name in local data sources.
