Hello, I have an issue with appwrite collection ID. Usually, when collection is created, you get an access to collection ID. Unfortunately, this ID is not displayed when I created a new table (collection), it does only display an lowercase name of the collection.

Since appwrite is migrating to the paid plan, I see that attributes are now called columns, and I have set an attributes and permissions, just to be sure.

Is this a restriction for a free plan? Couple of days ago, creation a new database and collections inside provided an ID for each, but now only creating a collection doesn't provide a premade ID.

Picture will be attached down below. Thank you in advance.

TL;DR
Developers can customize Collection IDs when creating a table in Appwrite, regardless of the plan. The ID for the table is now the table name by default. This change is part of the migration to the paid plan where attributes are now called columns. There is no restriction on the free plan regarding Collection IDs. The table ID can still be customized during creation.

Hey, the ID for that table is user. By default we now use the table name as the ID. It can still be customised when creating, regardless of plan
