We use a lot the renaming feature in OAS DV Workbook data sets to adjust data field names to the business process for which the workbook will be used. In the metadata view on the dataset we would LOVE to have an additional column which indicates the initial field name before the field was renamed. This will allows us to keep track and immediately know the origin and meaning or our dataset renamed fields.

Thanks alot, Philippe

  • Just to clarify, the metadata screen would have the original DB name and the current name of the column. In the case of a dataset created from Manual SQL, we would only be able to list the name of the column from the SQL and then any subsequent changes.
