How to rename a field name with curly braces by using Field Alias ?

[erwanlebaron]

Hi

I have several search where I performed renaming. Some of them are done on fied which looks like

• xxx.yyy{}.aaa
• xxx.yyy{}.bbb
• zzz{}.ccc

In the search I do

| rename xxx.yyy{}.aaa as newname1,      xxx.yyy{}.bbb as newname2,     zzz{}.ccc as newname3

I tried to implement it with field alias configuration but it's doesn't work

Is it possible ?
I don't find any documentation about this specification

PS : my field alias works properly without curly braces

Hi @andrew_nelson 

Thanks for the answers. It works now.

It was what I've configured.

I just don't understand why alias without {} has applied instantly and those {} was not visible last week. Now I can see all my alias !

Have a nice day

You can create the Field Alias through the UI using Settings > Fields > Field aliases. 
The format is old{}.field = newField

If you'd prefer to do it via conf file, the format requires quotes:
FIELDALIAS-<alias_name> = "old{}.field" as newField
