What version do you have installed?

I think It has been added in the June or Sep version; I forgot.

But, there is a slight bug, if u create ur master dimension without any transormation:

Imean just as : "First Name"

and name it as Name

when u filter by it, in the filter pane, it will appear as First Name...

That's why I do the if thing, to perform a "change" on the original field; and thus force qlik to make the new name appear on the filter pane

Ok, I was Asking myself the question.. but there is a bug or something, or it is not supposed to work like that..

anyway, it is not working for me, it is always showing the original field name.

Or Create a Master Dimension Named as desired and link that Master Dimension created to the above First Name Dimension , and use that dimension in the list box .

Can you try this?

one last thing baarathi must be aware about, with this, no calculation and no modification will be possible on the "dimension tab" on the charts.
