Hello, John!

You can use a Replace() function for replacing original names to needed.

You can change the field name by giving name in Label column in General tab of current selection box

It will display according to label name not as per script.

Create a Current Selection object.

Remove Values from it, leave only names of fields and eraser.

Then create a Text Object with function =GetCurrentSelections() - it will return the same result as a Current Selection object.

(useful:

GetCurrentSelections() have a max_value parameter, so you can set it to 0 and records will be 1-lined)

After that use Replace() function over GetCurrentSelections() as much as you have available for selection fields and make any names you like for each field.

Size Text Object and place it over Current Selection object exact on field names (make sure that eraser pic not covered with it, so the user will be able to remove selections).

With current selections box object, you can't do that. You can try an alternative of creating text-box as explained here: Current Selection Alternatives
