How can I change the field names (not the alias) in ArcGIS 10.2?
I already found this page on ArcGIS support: "Renaming shapefile fields (Defense Mapping)" but there is is not "Defense Mapping" on Customized Mode Categories In my ArcCatalog!
Can you please let me know how I can have access to Defense Mapping or how I can change the field names?
Answer
In short you cannot change a field name in a shapefile. What you need to do is create a new field of the same type but with your new name then copy the contents of the old field into it, then delete the old field.
