How to change "column names"

[Tepp]

Hi,

By default, column names are read-only,

Is it possible to edit it?

Best regards,

Hi Tepp,

could you please provide more details? Where do you want to change the column names?

Thanks

Thank you for your reply.

I want to change it in "Dictionary Entry", but it is read-only.

Best regards,

Hi,

you cannot change the name of any custom field in a table, not even through Background Script. There is a reason behind this, as it can have database structural implications.

What you can do is to only change the Column label:

Thank you very much

Do you mean the label for the name of the column? Or the actual name of the column on the platform? 

The former, yes, through the dictionary. 

The latter, yes, but I'd strongly suggest you don't - lots of OOB functionality will likely cease to be, and you'll have a nightmare during upgrades.
