SharePoint List - Would it be possible to change column name via JSON or Internal/display name, so that output in a custom body can look cleaner?

Question

Hello, i am using JSON to format my custom body for new item/elements in a SharePoint list, under is an example that is the same as my custom body that works now.

Is it possible to change the name "Department" in the custom body inside the Json body code as shown? I tried also to use the internalname instead of the Display Name in the list, but it didnt work either.

Anyone know if this is possible? i would like to keep the column name, just have another name in the custom body so the text and struture will look cleaner for the user that will type inn information into the sharepoint list.

Hope i describe this as people understand, or i will try again:)

{ 
    "sections": [ 
        { 
            "displayname": "", 
            "fields": [ 
                "Title" 
            ] 
        }, 
        { 
            "displayname": "Details", 
            "fields": [ 
                "Department", 
                "Email", 
                "Country" 
            ] 
        }, 
        { 
            "displayname": "Application", 
            "fields": [ 
                "Application Id", 
                "Approver", 
                "Reviewer" 
            ] 
        } 
    ] 
}

Answer 1

When using JSON codes to customize the list form body with one or more sections consists of some columns, JSON codes reference columns here by using their internal name.

In fact, what you pointed out in the picture below is the display name of Department column.

So, it is not possible to keep the display name of Department column and have another name in the customized list form body at the same time.

The only way to change column name in the custom list form body is to change the column display name.

1.Select the Department column -> Column settings -> Edit.

2.JSON codes.

3.Result.
