Sometimes, there is a need to change a field name, which breaks reports relying on calculated fields from list view that refer to field names.
We are a large organization that requires several admins to maintain our aha ecosystem, with an even larger library of reports. As we grow and evolve, field name changes sometimes make a great deal of sense. However, implementing those changes would create an unknown ripple effect into untold reports because we can't search by what fields are used in a report. It would be massively helpful for continuity sake to enable API support within calculated fields, rather than depending on the field name.
