Clone Column With Business Name
When you clone an object, the target column name is taken from the Business Attribute Technical Name or Business Name, falling back to the column's Column Name if needed.
The setting applies when an object is cloned with the Clone action of the Object Editor, not when it is duplicated. When enabled, a cloned column takes the Technical Name of its Business Attribute when one exists, otherwise the column's Business Name, otherwise its original name. Columns of a Fact clone that reference another table's key are named by the key rule instead, see Append Identity. When disabled, the other cloned columns keep their original names.
When to Change This Setting
Enable it when the business names in your model should carry into the column names of cloned objects. Keep the default N to keep the source column names.
