Fields have custom name when stored in database. was created by hakbar
Hi,

I query from the database.

The fields come back in the format as shown below.

111111X2X9SQ004_SQ003

Is it possible to name these.

For example.

change the name to be Question1.

No, not without major (complete) hacking of the core code.
Cheers,

Agree. Still, you could create a view for that table. Can you tell more about the use case?

I am currently exporting the data from a MYSQL database and creating an xml file.

When I create the tags I use the keys I.e fields names.

This results in me creating an XML file with very confusing tags.

An example of some tags.

<21661X9X24SQ004_SQ001>Y</21661X9X24SQ004_SQ001>
<21661X9X24SQ004_SQ002>Y</21661X9X24SQ004_SQ002>
<21661X9X24SQ004_SQ003></21661X9X24SQ004_SQ003>

Would be useful to be able to name fields, so easier to cross reference.

Hi,

2 solutions
1. Use ExpressionManager : gitlab.com/SondagesPro/RemoteControl/rcA...olHandler.php#L49-60
2. Use a plugin helper : gitlab.com/SondagesPro/coreAndTools/getQ...eyCodeHelper.php#L69

You can try the API json export too …
