SharePoint Online - system field mapping (internal name to display name) #842
Comments

@lar404 - The easiest way to see this is to go to the Site Columns page in any site (Site Information / View all site settings / Site Columns). When you click on any Site Column, the URL on that page will have the InternalName in it. For example, for Birthday, you get the URL:
[parts of the URL removed for clarity] I realize this isn't a reference, but the available Site Columns will vary depending on what features are enabled in any given site, even in "modern" SharePoint. Does that help? |

Alternatively, you could use PowerShell to export the DisplayName / InternalName plus any other information you might want. See: Get-PnPField |

Hi @sympmarc - thanks for your reply. I'm currently using your first suggestion to get the information. I'm waiting on our GA to config environment to allow PnP use. If creation of a single reference point for this information is unlikely, happy for this issue to be closed. Thanks. |

@lar404 - FWIW, here's a list of the StaticName/InternalName pairs for a site. As I mentioned, this list will vary depending on what type of site it is and what features/capabilities are enabled. I haven't filtered out hidden fields, etc. Hope this is useful.

I'm looking everywhere for official documentation that maps the display names to their internal names for SharePoint Online list and library system fields. The most comprehensive list I found is here: https://blog.softartisans.com/2009/12/08/list-of-internal-names-for-sharepoint-fields/ - however it's a third party blog, and quite dated.
Can this information please be made available to facilitate information architecture planning and data lifecycle management? Thank you.
