Hi, I am comtemplating to change forScore to MobileSheets, forScore is seriously making bad moves, and not repairing things, and support is non-existent...
So there are a few things which are different between the apps, to which I am trying to adapt.
One of those is the naming of the fields to use in the metadata, in forScore you can rename most of the fields to something you like more.
In MobileSheets you can rename only the Custom Group.
Would it be possible to enable the renaming of fields? There are rather a couple I do not use, but others I would like to use...

That's something that's certainly on my list. The main problem is that many of the labels are basically hard-coded into the layouts on many of the screens. So I would need to add a lot of additional code across the entire application to ensure that any references to any of those groups are dynamic and populated from the user's selection rather than using the value from the active locale/translation. So it's not necessarily a difficult change - it's just very tedious and large amount of work to go through all of the code and layouts. I'm just trying to balance and figure out priorities for all of the requests I'm getting to try to determine the schedule for all the work, so I'm not sure exactly when I will work on this.

Thanks, good to know that it is on the to-do list, I was hoping that they were *not* hardcoded, so that is a bummer, but I understand!
There are worse things in the world...

IMHO a few additional custom groups and/or custom fields that can be renamed would be possible workaround, would be helpful for more users and create much more benefit for the required effort

That is one of the next things I'm going to work on once I resolve the current issues with missing chord pro features and settings, abc issues, the fixed page size issues you reported, etc.
