The only way to have a label displayed on a VA object is to change its matching data name.

This is very coarse.

A name and a label serve distinct purposes; typically the name is used by the developer while the label is for the report user.

Sometimes blank labels are needed, and sometimes the same label is needed for 2 data entries.

Add a label field in the SAS VA data properties.

I totally agree. Just been working with  some NHS data that has really horrible / long names and changng the field name loses the lineage. Very puzzling as BASE SAS has this capability.

It could also be useful when duplicating data to use different aggregation

@AnnaBrown Sorry to hear this.

That's a shame, this is a significant functional gap.
