idea 'setnewalias' method for fieldInfo objects in Developers Ideas https://community.esri.com/t5/developers-ideas/setnewalias-method-for-fieldinfo-objects/idi-p/937330 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>fieldInfo objects are pretty neat but it seems to me they are missing a pretty important method. Currently, you can get field names, assign new names, set visibility, establish split policy, remove fields and return a list of the visible. I noticed you can't set a new field alias though.&nbsp;<BR /><BR />If you can set a new name using the setnewname() method, you should also be able to set a new alias using a setnewalias() method. I mean, names and alias' go hand-in-hand.&nbsp;<BR /><BR />Without this method, the only alternative to do this in python is to iterate through the fields after export and use the AlterFields tool. <!-- content transformation source ID: 087E00000005EbS --> </BODY></HTML> Fri, 01 Aug 2014 13:35:49 GMT JohnDye 2014-08-01T13:35:49Z 'setnewalias' method for fieldInfo objects https://community.esri.com/t5/developers-ideas/setnewalias-method-for-fieldinfo-objects/idi-p/937330 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>fieldInfo objects are pretty neat but it seems to me they are missing a pretty important method.
