Give a custom name to a field in the Views edit screen
Last updated on
14 May 2021
Sometimes a view can use the same field in several different ways. To avoid confusion on the Views Edit screen, you can give each use of the field a different name.
- Navigate to the edit screen for a view (for example, admin/structure/views/view/MYVIEWNAME/edit).
- In the FIELDS section, click an existing field or Add a new field. The Configure Field dialog box displays.
- Ensure the Create a label field is checked.
- Enter a name for the field in the Label text field. This name will be displayed in parenthesis under FIELDS on the Views Edit screen as well as become the column header on tables or label on Grid, HTML List, or Unformatted list depending on the the selection in the FORMAT section.
