Rename the Name Column of a Document Library in a SharePoint 2016
Hi,
I have created a new document Library I have added all other required columns in my Library now I want to rename the Name column of my document library.
I have tried so many things but it's not working at all.
It was possible to do in SharePoint 2010 and 2013
Can anyone help me in renaming the column?

It is not possible to rename the Name column.
Because it is the filename of the document.
Try to hide the column in the view and create a new column with the new name.
But you always have to give them file a name.
If I will hide that column I cannot go inside the folder.
It was possible to do in SharePoint 2010 and 2013. I believe there is some way to do it in 2016 too.
If it's a restriction in 2016 then I am very disappointed.
