How to Rename event in a field

Hi 

Am trying to change the "Cloud Service Provider (CSP)"  to "CSP". The field name is "Registration Type"

Thanks

| eval "Registration Type"=if('Registration Type'=="Cloud Service Provider (CSP)","CSP",'Registration Type')

@ITWhisperer  Thanks but am getting an error msg. It seems am missing something.

The if function has only 3 parameters, the comparison, the result if true, and the result if false. You could split what you have over a number of eval commands, comparing the field to the different strings you want to change, or you can replace the if function with a case function.
