Summary Tool Output Filed Name

When selecting an Action in the Summary Tool - like Count.  The Output filed Name becomes Count.  It s/b Filed Name_Count so I don't have to rename all the Output Field Names with a more descriptive name.

I just spent about a day renaming all those fields and that's all I have to say about that.

I agree that it's annoying count doesn't work like the others

On the Select and many other tools you have an "Options" drop down that offers options to manipulate field names including 

  • add prefix
  • add suffix
  • remove prefix
  • remove suffix
  • clear all renames
  • clear highlighted renames

If Alteryx added this "Options" feature to the Summary tool with the functions above it would solve the issue I think.
