Getting Non business friendly names into Current Selections Box

sindhura — Wed, 20 Jan 2016 20:12:55 GMT

I have used non friendly names in some of the sheet objects by using the labels option. But If I select the data in those objects

their original field names names appear in the "Current Selections" box. Can we rename these field names also in the "Current Selections" box without renaming them in the script and only changing in front end.

Thanks

I don't think so renaming the field Names in the current selections Box. In addition to renaming the field with AS function in script, you can also use the Mapping table Rename Map Using function.

I think you need at least a translation table in the script, then you can use for example:
