Hi
I have a list containing 4 List Content Types. Is there any way to change the display name of the field ‘Content Type’ (image attached)?
Thanks,
Chandni
Yes. Completely agreed with Paul. Never change the default name of out-of-the-box column names or it may lead to errors and exceptions if that column is referred by SharePoint or in your custom code somewhere.
Depending on where the change is made, it can affect all other lists.
Hi
Thanks for your reply. I am fairly new to SharePoint. Can you please tell me the consequences of changing the default properties.
Thanks

It’s not recommended to change properties of the out-of-the-box objects such as the Content Type column’s display name. Instead, you could create a calculated column with the name you desire that uses the Content Type column’s value.
