Change view name of manually created views

[MEC]

Hi

Just want to ask if it's possible to put an expression in DISPLAY NAME of manually created views. Please find the below error: 

The [Client name] is found in the table I'm using this view for. On the other hand, I can put expression on DISPLAY NAME of an app created views like the below:

 

Will appreciate any response!

Thanks! Looks like it can't be done for manually created views

It has nothing to do with being manually created.

Sorry? Can you elaborate please?

The restriction shown in the yellow box is not due to the fact that it's a manually created view, it is because it's a collection view (shows multiple records).

Thank you for pointing this out. Big help!

In certain situations, there are roundabout ways to accomplish this. For example, if a view is based on a slice that comprises only a single row, then you can use an expression that references that row from the slice even though it's not possible to reference the current row from the view.

INDEX(Slice[Client name], 1) & " loans"

Thanks for your response! It's not from a slice though.
