Calculated Value Formula displaying uniqueName instead of caption

Answered
Rafael Felipe Cordeiro asked on January 12, 2026

Hi,

Could you please advise if it's possible to configure the Flexmonster formula area to display the field's caption instead of its uniqueName?

My issue is that after creating a calculated value and then renaming the source field's caption, the formula still references the original uniqueName. This behavior causes confusion, particularly in larger reports, making it difficult to understand which field is being used.

Any suggestions for a setting or workaround would be very helpful.

Hello, Rafael,

Thank you for contacting us.

To resolve this issue, we recommend using the useCaptionsInCalculatedValueEditor option. With this option enabled, the formula area will display captions instead of unique names. Please note that this option works not only for calculated values, but for all field captions.

We are looking forward to hearing your feedback.

Best regards,
Maksym
