Hello!

I was wondering if it’s possible to change the primary key/title column in a SharePoint list. When I made the list I renamed this default title column to another name but I was unaware that it would be used as the identifying column in the list. This is giving me issues because when users search for an item in the list in a SharePoint site, the name of the entry that pops up is this title column – which I’m presuming is because it is the primary key column – but I would like it to show another field instead. See in the attached image: the blue text is the value of the title column but it is not a very efficient identifier for users performing the search. 

Thus, the only way I can think of fixing my issue is by switching the column that SharePoint considers the title/primary column. Or if I hide this column, would the value that appears in the blue text be different?
