Why is rename not working for Timechart Lists?

Hello,

I'm running into an issue trying to rename timechart lists. I'd like to give these a more friendly presentation, but no dice. Any recommendation on how to correct this would be appreciated.

| timechart span=1m list(CESMOS) list(AESMOS) by Alias
| rename "list(CESMOS)" as "Customer MOS", "list(AESMOS)" as "Agent MOS"

@jason16v what is the output of your timechart command. Can you add the field names and some sample values?

Also what kind of values does your existing field names CESMOS and AESMOS and Alias have?
