How can I change a name of a dot walked field that has the same name as a already existed field?

I had dot walked a field onto a existing table already. I didn't know until I dot walked the field that the field name was the same as a already existing field on the table. I am wondering on how to change the label name of the dot walked field without affecting the other field with the same name

Changing the label is easy, just go to the dictionary and change the label from the form or the related list(label). but the actual name of the column cannot be changed.

Hi,

If you need to change the label of a dot walked field then you need to change it at the source table where the field actually exist. This will also change its name everywhere it is displayed. It would be better option to change the label on your existing field on the table.

Thanks

Hi, thanks for the response. I had thought of doing this, but I'm trying not to have to change the field names. I was curious if there any other ways.
