CSPro Users Forum

Hello,
Is there a way to change the field name without losing the information for the field in the forms section? (i.e. without losing the question labels, syntax, etc)
thanks!

Hi Aniseh,
Since Cspro is based to a very structured dictionary (define a dictionary is the first step in Cspro), it's impossible to change a Dictionary Name for an item without losing his logic, etc.
Regards,

The question text should automatically update as long as you rename the dictionary item while your data entry application is open at the same time. However, you will have to manually rename any logic that refers to the variable name.

Depending on your needs, if you want to use the old variable names to refer to the new variable, you can look at the alias statement:
