Dynamically Rename & Add Description from Data Dictionary Table

[stapuff]

I have a Data Dictionary table that has a short and long text field I would like to use to rename the fields and add a description (rename & description that can be seen in the select tool)

rename = [short text]

description = [long description]

I can use a Dynamic Rename Tool to rename the fields.

I can use a Field Info Tool to see the description field and a formula tool to change the description, but I am not seeing how to tie it back.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be welcome.

@atcodedog05 I appreciate the response back.

I look at your example and I had something similar.  My question is how do you tie that back to the main table to actually rename it?

I see no fields or values coming from the actual data table.

Thanks,

Puff

I will take a look at your suggestion.

I marker the respond from @atcodedog05 since I figured it out and basically had to replicate with the same logic.
