Does anyone know, how one can change the column which is shown in the “Preview as” dropdown list?  
In my case, the column 6 is used, which is the column Firstname.  
Therefore, I get many duplicates in the list which is not very helpful.

I believe it uses whichever columns are mapped to Email, Name & Role respectively in your User Profiles configuration.

I don’t know where I can find the User Profiles configuration, I have a Pro App with email sign-in

Click on hamburger Menu ☰ \> Click on name or avatar \> in the right side you’ll se a Source field: choose your “user” sheet, where it will receive every email after sign in.
