Rename custom property

Is there a way to rename a custom property after it has been added?

I have a custom field on a custom tab added to application object. The internal name that was given to that field pretty much matches the DisplayName.

Now we decided to use that field for different purpose and the DisplayName is going to be totally different. To avoid confusion in case any new custom fields are added in the future, I'd like change the internal name to match new display name.

Any thoughts?

 

 


  • Yes, you can update the internal name of a custom property. You can do so by updating the internal field name in three different tables in the [FNMSCompliance] database:

    1. [UIItem] - stores the internal name for all custom fields displayed in the UI
    2. [ResourceStringCultureType] - stores the field labels - in all supported languages
    3. [AssetTypeProperty] - or better: Pick the correct table for the FNMS object type where you placed the custom field on, storing the values, like [AssetTypeProperty], [ComplianceComputerTypeProperty] ...

    The following SQL code can be used as a template:

     

    UPDATE [UIItem] SET

    ItemResourceName = '<NewFieldName>'

    WHERE

    ItemResourceName = '<OldFieldName>'

     

    UPDATE [ResourceStringCultureType] SET

    ResourceString = '<NewFieldName>'

    WHERE

    ResourceString = '<OldFieldName>'

     

    UPDATE [AssetTypeProperty] SET

    PropertyName = '<NewFieldName>'

    WHERE

    PropertyName = '<OldFieldName>'
