Renamed fields in data model

‎12-09-2017 06:29 AM

In my data model, I have renamed a number of fields from the original SQL field names. This is most often helpful, but can sometimes be confusing if there are multiple source fields with similar or related values. Is there a quick way for me to see the original SQL field name without delving into the Query Editor?

 

I will probably have to post this in "Ideas," but I would like to be able to go to the Field List, right-click on a field in the data model and see a menu item for "Properties" where the original SQL field name, and perhaps other properties, would be listed.

@MojoGeneit is a very good question but without going to query editor there is no way to see the original field name. Surely put it on idea forum.
