one-off naming of FK column

new to SDDM v20.2
For the most part, when I create a relation in the Logical Model, the generated column name (for the FK value in the child table in the Relational Model) is suffice.
In rare circumstances, I need the column name in the child table to have a very specific name.
Is this possible to define that within the Logical Model? if so, how?
Thanks,
MK

use preferred abbreviation - here are two pictures

The PK Attribute on the Parent Entity comes from "Create Surrogate key" on the parent Entity (image 1)
The Attribute I want to modify isn't listed on the Child Entity (image 2).
Beyond that, it looks like this trick should work.
MK
Image 1 - PK on Parent is auto-created
Image 2 - no Attribute to modify.

is there a rule for that name?

Where to check?
I'm just starting to use SDDM. I don't think I defined any naming rules.
I've modified the Naming Templates (image). But that should be it. maybe a few check boxes for Engineering.

You can also just type the name you want while editing that attribute in the attribute list.
It will get overridden if you should re-run naming conventions. So I paste my chosen name into the comments of that attribute (not RDBMS comments, just tool comments). then at least I can copy paste it back or I make sure to re-run naming conventions opton without foreign key columns applied.

well, if you want the name to not change then you can use "Tools>Object names administration" utility to make that name unchangeable

Thank you @Philip Stoyanov-Oracle. That is cool.
If I may, it would have been nice if a direct "link" to that feature would be that I could on the relevant object/attribute indicate/tick that it must be fixed and not have to go to another screen to achieve this. Also having this "central" place/way of being able to see all things flagged as fixed.
Just my two cents...
