Hello,
This is necessary for complex properties, when you have the "FullName" property in the grid and want to add the "Manager.FullName" property.
Currently, you can find it within the "Object Model" window (it shows a tree). However, once it is added, you see two identical entries in the "Column Chooser" window with one and the same caption "Full Name".
It's necessary to specify another caption when adding a new column into the column list, and show a property name/property path for each entry, especially when it is a complex property.
Thanks,
Dan

Hello,
Maybe you already have solution?

While we do not have a generic solution for this scenario. However, it has been always possible to access a grid, tree list or other controls and customize their column captions. Refer to the
Access Grid Control Properties help article to see how to access these controls in XAF. Feel free to contact our WinForms team or refer to the documentation for these controls if you experience any difficulties with customizing column captions.
Alternatively, you can use a solution described in the Column Chooser - Make it possible to avoid columns with duplicate columns and Please augment the field chooser in the layout tool tickets.
