Set DisplayField property for StandaloneTable

BradJones3

I have a button that loads some standalone tables that are in a 1:M relationship classes with other layers.  I

want to set the DisplayField property of the related tables to the date field so my users can see the date attributes in the popups.

 How do I go about this?  I'm at a loss on where to go from here.

public void SetDisplayField(string tableName, string fieldName)
{
    var mapView = MapView.Active.Map;
    QueuedTask.Run(() =>
    {
        IReadOnlyList<StandaloneTable> tables = mapView.FindStandaloneTables(tableName);
        foreach (var table in tables)
        {
            var cimTableDefinition = table.GetDefinition() as CIMStandaloneTable;
            var displayField = cimTableDefinition.DisplayField;                    
        }
    });
}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

This what I used in the end.
