Title: Slight problem: Renaming user fields?
Post by: Marty3d on May 20, 2005, 04:52:01 pm

Hi!

Once upon a time, I had two user fields, "Mood" and "Mood2". Now I've deleted Mood, and wanted to rename Mood2 to Mood instead. It kind of works, but in some dialogs and lists, Mood still appears as Mood2. Checking the Options, you can see that it's there and named both Mood and Mood2. The difference is that Mood2 is greyed out.

So, is there a way to rename it or am I stuck with Mood2?

Thanks!

I think you have to delete the field and replace it...  If so, I'd suggest you make a temporary field, call it 'temp', and copy all the entries from Mood2 into it, using Library Tools>Move/Copy Field. Then delete Mood2 and recreate it; now you can copy all the entries back into your new Mood field.

Or Just Re-Create "Mood" And Copy Field "Mood2" To "Mood"

Yeah - That might be quicker!
