Rename fields in Props.conf?

I have some old iis logging going on in our web logs, and I am looking to rename some of the fields that I'm pulling out via transforms.conf.

The fields that I'm looking to rename in props look like this.

I would like to change "ip" to "clientip"
I would like to change "uri-query" to "uri"
and a few more.

Can this be done in the props.conf?

You can do this in props.conf. Both fields will be visible.

[my_sourcetype]
FIELDALIAS-alias1 = ip AS clientip
FIELDALIAS-alias2 = uri-query AS uri
etc...

Adding

[my_sourcetype]
# ...
EVAL-ip = null
EVAL-uri-query = null
# ...

will also hide the original fields.
