One note is about 'caption' property: field's name follows all changes made to 
its caption. Because 'name' is a property that physically changes table 
schema, changing the caption may look like 'caption' also this kind of 
modification. The (temporary) solution is to only change caption. 

How?

After changing the caption, click on 'name' property listed in the property 
editor, and click on the "revert" button on the right hand. The field's name 
will be reverted to the original value, without affecting the current value 
of 'caption'. You can do that for as many fields as you want.
