Additional Information
Refer to the updated documentation for ArcGIS Pro 3.2: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/geodatabases/overview/create-modify-and-delete-fields.htm# When it comes to the field's alias and name, there are two concepts and it depends on if the information is accessed from the data source or the layer. For Charts, the information is pulled from the alias of the data source. Making changes to the field alias of a layer does not propagate the change to the alias of the data source.Workaround
Use the Alter Field geoprocessing tool to completely rename the field and its alias.Steps to Reproduce
