Hi, @mice  ProjectID_Description is not related to the EPTimeCardDetail table/DAC.

This field dynamic field coming from Projects screen, when you select the Project ID, will show the project description but is actually not related to EPTimeCardDetail table, hence we could not able to rename this field.

@mice  as @Naveen Boga suggested follow the guide to change the display name.

To find the properties of a field, use Customize > Inspect Element OR Ctrl + Alt > Select field.

Looks like field you are trying to customize belongs to the Summary Container:
