Note

  1. You can use dollar-sign replacement
  2. You can / must use square-brackets if your names include spaces:

this example illustrates both effects:

SET vFieldOne = Field One;

RENAME FIELD FIELD_1 TO [$(vFieldOne)];

Hi all,

I am wondering the exact same thing as Julian! Is there any easy option to refactor variable names in Qlik?

Here's the translation of Julians post. I hope someone can help! Thanks!

------

The two suggested options work well for me, both to rename fields and to maintain the link between the presentation objects and the renamed fields.
This, of course, if I do it in a test document.

But, it happens that I have a document with 600+ fields, and when renaming them with any of the options described, the objects are unlinked to the new field and I must reassign them, either one by one, or through the dialog "View of the first Expression (Ctrl + Alt + E) ".

Is there a limit on the number of fields that can be renamed without losing the link between the object / expression / variable that contains it, so that Qlikview can replace it automatically?

Should I then change everything manually?
