Hi, lottieritchie 

Please correct me if I wrongly understood your question.

In my case, and I am not sure how others do but in some cases they are changing all measures like you planned, I change the existing column name [Job_Priority] to [Job_Priority2], then I create a new column that is called [Job_Priority].

Thanks for your quick reply. Unfortunately this doesn't work as the references just update to 'Job_Priority2' so the reference doesn't change over to my new column. I tried just renaming my new field to the name of the previous one hoping it would write over the references to it, but it doesn't allow this.
