How to change the header displayed name in a Table Visual for time hierarchy columns

I have a simple table, and one of its column is the YEAR level of a time hierarchy.

Now the displayed table header for that column is "Year", I would like to read "Year of installation" instead.

But I don't know how to rename that field.

Thank you all for your answers.

At the end I created a new Column
Year of Installation = YEAR('Top Levels'[IP.DateInstalled])

Thank you all for your answers.

I was not aware you can't rename default hierarchy level names.

@maclura , In case of default hierarchy it will not work. You might have craete date table with Year and there you will be able to rename

right click and rename ? 

Thank you bahadir for your answer.

Unfortunately right click doesn't work for hierarchies!

Right Click is not a solution, neither double click on the name.
