How can I rename columns in PVO data augmentation?

Question

I went through the effort of selecting all the columns I need and then renaming them so they wouldn't be these ugly, long names. After running the augmentation, it didn't even do it.

* Is this something that can't actually be done? 
* Should we add and AI step so it can do "column beautification" to the process?* similar to how they have done it in OAC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWSySl6kGkg&list=PL6gBNP-Fr8KXBh-wE96il0tpW2bEHGEts&index=12

Hello @Branden Pavol ,

I like your "column beautification" idea.

In a Sandbox, you can choose to Modify a Subject Area and rename a column.

However, that would adversely affect any workbooks that depend on the column.

I did log an Enhancement Request for that functionality internally. For your reference, the ER number is :

38410436

If you decide to log your own Enhancement Request via the Ideas Lab, please reference that number.

I see that you logged this earlier in the Ideas Lab:

You could log a new one with one of your new ideas.

Regards,

John
