Can't change name of rest service when creating a new record.

LauraMawhinney2

I am using collector in android with multiple hosted feature services.  When the user clicks on the plus sign to add a new record the screen displays the name of the rest service.  For example - devsde.LMAWHIN1.PILOT_GPS_HYDRANT.  Attached is a screen shot of what I am talking about.  I would like change this to "GPS HYDRANT."  I have update the name the name in the contents but this doesn't change it.  How can the name be changed?

All comments and answers are welcome.

Hi Laura, 

How were these feature services created in the first place? Published from ArcMap/ArcGIS Pro?

Are the layers hosted in ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise?

You may need to go back and rename the layers in the table of contents then republish them.

Another option would be to change the JSON of the feature service through the REST end point: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/How-to-Update-Hosted-Feature-Service-Schemas1.pdf?rmedium=bu… 

I would say that this is something that could negatively affect the layer and if you were to try it, do it on a test feature service first.
