Field name conflicts with new Microsoft fields

Hi All,

I'm trying to figure out my options for the following issue.

In minor release 17.3, Shortcut Dimensions 3 through 8 were added to the G/L Entry table. We built an extension to add Shortcut Dimension 3 Code to the G/L Entry table a while back and the field name is
"Shortcut Dimension 3 Code". This conflicts with the new field added in version 17.3 and now we cannot upgrade to the new version. We typically have a prefix for all new fields added, but we missed it on this field.

Based on what I can find online, there is no way for us to change a field name so we are kind of stuck. I tried to mark the field as Obsolete already, but that still does not resolve the main issue of the names being the same.

This issue is in a SaaS environment.

Thanks in advance!

    Your best chance is to contact Microsoft. We have way to do it on premise, but not on SaaS.
