Changing MapServer layer name

Question

Hello,

I would like to change the two layer names in below MapServer:

https://gis.passaiccountynj.org/arcgis/rest/services/Hosted/Passaic_County_Contour_Tile/MapServer

Now the layer names are:

Layers:

* PC_DEM_Contour_3424_Simplified (0)
* PC_DEM_Contour_3424_Dissolve (1)

I tried to find these names in Service Definition ArcGIS Server Administrator Directory, but the names do not appear in any settings. Do you know how to change them? I am attaching the item description and service property JSONs.

Thanks.

service_property.txt

item_info.txt

I believe these workflows are for renaming the MapServer itself, not its layers. Also I know how to rename the layers in FeatureServer layers by either editing the item description page or service property JSON, but cannot do either for MapServer layers.

I've not done this myself but this workflow looks promising:

also via REST API POST
