Using Original Name when creating as asset

Some customers prefer their System APIs to reflect the exact field names used in their legacy systems, ensuring consistency and easier mapping between old and new environments.

By default, the OpenLegacy design-time engine standardizes asset names when generating them. However, starting from version 3.0.27.2, you can choose to preserve the original field names from your legacy assets.


There are two ways to enable this behavior:

  • Using the CLI :
    • When adding an asset, include the following flag in your command: --keep-original-names
  • Using the Hub : Account administrators can configure this setting globally so that all newly created assets retain their original names. To enable this:
    • Navigate to Account Settings
    • Open Global Settings
    • Go to the Advanced tab
    • Enable Keep original names when adding assets
