You can change the name of a field in a record type from
the Record Fields grid.
Before you begin
When
you name a field, do not use keywords that are reserved by the database
vendor. See your vendor documentation for a list of reserved keywords.
For more information, see
Naming restrictions.
Procedure

- Start the Designer.
- In the ClearQuest Schema Repository Explorer view, expand
the Record Types folder in your schema and

editor opens.
- Click the Fields tab to view the
Record Fields grid.
- Right-click the field whose name you want to change and
click Rename Field.

What to do next
After you rename a field, you may need to update the values

name.
