How to alter field name for feature class with subtype?

[DanielGluck]

 I would like to change a field name called "type" to a different name because it is making errors when I'm joining the feature class. 

The feature class has a very long subtype list with dozens of domain assigned to different fields. I can not alter the field name for some reason, probably because the subtypes. 

Any ides how can I do that's?

you have this posted in the ArcGIS Online place... was that a oversight? or are you trying to do this in ArcMap?

I would move it to a more suitable location like.... Managing Data‌ and share with Geodatabase ... I don't have moderator privs on this place

Defining feature class properties—ArcGIS Help | ArcGIS for Desktop 

The following fields cannot be renamed:

• ObjectID and GlobalID fields
• Any Shape-related field; Shape, shape length, shape area
• The enabled, ancillary role or network weight fields of a network feature class
• Representation fields
• Fields in a feature class participating in a Network Dataset, Terrain, or Cadastral Fabric
• Fields used for Editor Tracking
• Relationship Class Primary Key and Foreign Key fields
• The Subtype field
• Raster fields

There is a solution but only in ArcPro. Follow this link. Add a new Long field and the tool will insert all the "Old/wrong" subtype field to the new corrected name subtype field. 

Thanks all for your reply.

The challenge is to rename the field name that's holding all the subtypes.

Thanks anyway
