original SQL DB field names

[ahendo026]

Our SQL DB has some very cryptic field names so the ability to rename them in Power BI is definitely appreciated. The problem is we need to often refer to the original DB field names.
 
Is there a way to display the original DB field name after we have renamed it in BI? Are there any best practices other use to avoid this problem.
 
Perhaps BI should allow us to create an "alias" for the DB field name to avoid confusion.

@ahendo026 I would recommend you use a layer of views in your database to change the field names. This would also allow you to use Direct Query if you wanted to. Then you have the mapping in your source db. Once a transoform occurs there isn't an "easy" way to look at what the field name was other than to walk through the steps in Edit Queries.
