Hello
I'm experiencing a problem when I download the survey data as CSV or ShapeFile. Field names are different such as field_1, field2, field1_10 for instance when I open a CSV file in Excel. Similarly, the result is same when I open attribute table of a shapefile. On the other hand, there is no problem when I open attribute table of a File Geodatabase. I attached screenshots to clarify the problem. Could you please kindly help me on this matter ?
Regards

Hi. The name of fields and choices in surveys authored on the web is automatically created (field_1, field_2, choice_1, choice_2...). However, we use the Label/Title you set for the questions and choices to define the field alias. When you open a FileGeodatabase in ArcGIS Desktop, you see the alias. When you open a CSV or Shapefile, you see the actual field names.

Hi Ismael,
I understand the logic here. It seems field names might be confusing unless you open Geodatabase. So gdb works out for me Thank you.
Hi all!
Can we change the name of these default fields in Survey123 Web for example: field_1 change it to Project_Name and so on?
