Element is the field name that the Field Label refers to.
Once a field is created, you can't change the field name.
If you want to change the Label of a different field, go to that dictionary record and create the label from there.
What exactly are you trying to achieve?

To add to the above, if you want to change the Field name - you can't.
You'll have to recreate your field with the desired name.

Hi Paul,
Now, when outputting as a JSON file as shown below, it is output with the Element field name.
Outputting JSON FILE
"Element Field Name": {
"link": "https://aaaaaaaaa.service-now.com/api/now/table/sys_userxxxxxxxx/",
"value": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
"link": "https://aaaaaaaaa.service-now.com/api/now/table/sys_userxxxxxxxx/",
"value": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
However, I want it to be output with the Label field name in the image above.
So I was thinking about changing the Element field.

Is there any specific good way?
