Is it possible to safely do this? Tried to change it via the DISPLAY\_NAME in the DOCUMENT\_FIELDS table but that didn’t do the trick. Note that we are using de-identified data in our instance, so we don’t have MRN’s in the system, we instead have a scrambled PatientDurableKey. It would just be less confusing for our users if we could display PatientDurableKey as the label instead of MRN everywhere in the UI.
