How can I switch between Field names and Field alias in Pop-up (ArcGis Pro 2.7)?
Stein - In the Fields Designer, I updated all my Field Aliases to be regular words (i.e. STIME -> START TIME, CALL_TYPE -> CALL TYPE and so on) and then did a save for the Fields Designer. Then I did a right-click on the layer and selected Configure Popups. In the Configure Pop-ups pane, I clicked the pencil to the right of the Fields(xx) words to edit the pop-up element. To configure WHAT fields to appear, I unchecked the "Only use visible fields and Arcade expressions" then check on/off the fields I want to appear in the pop-up.
By default, ArcGIS Pro will display the popup Field Alias {Field Name}. If I change the Fields Options in the Configure Pop-Up and convert to HTML mode then I can edit the HTML code to show the Field Name vs. the Field Alias. This is a bit cumbersome compared to a simple click button. I don't see an easy way to convert back and forth from Field Alias to Field Name and back.
@Robert_LeClair You aren't kidding; that's pretty clunky. Seems like such a simple setting like 'Use Field Alias' should be there somewhere, but I haven't found it. You can do that with a table...
No kidding Joe - I looked everywhere and don't see a simple "Use Field Alias" option in the Configure pop-up. Maybe ArcGIS Pro 2.8 - being more of a stability/enhancement/speed things up update - will have this as an option in the UI. I have not seen 2.8 Alpha/Beta as I'm not on those teams. Fingers crossed for AGP 2.8!
The solution I found was to edit the fields in the map viewer. If you click on the Fields icon, you'll get a list of the attributes for the selected layer. Click on the layer you want to update the display name of and then a formatting box will open, and you can adjust the name there.
yes this works in ArcGIS Online, but these alias changes will only be overwritten next time you publish the data from ArcGIS Pro.
