   The Portal Connector v6.1.141.128
   Build version:    14.1.7824.0
   
   I'm trying to override the column heading name in the subgrib but I can't figure out where to enter the information.  The grid is displaying the name directly from CRM and I need to override the name/label.

   Greetings Mason,
   
   Thank you for reaching out.
   
   In order to change the name in the sub heading, the first step is to go to edit on the sub-grid, click on the columns tab, click the edit icon in the columns table, and change the column header to a name of choice. Once that is done click on update, then click on save, and finally click on publish.
   
   I hope this information helps.

   This isn't working in my environment.  If I change the column heading from within the edit dialog, the column no longer displays in the Sub Grid.  When I go back to the edit dialog, the original name from CRM still displays rather than the value I provided.  When I click save again and publish the column reapers within the Sub Grid with whatever label I have defined in CRM.  I ended up just modifying the label in CRM to get the label I wanted within the Sub Grid column heading.  The only thing I haven't tried is giving the column an alias in the fetch XML and then trying a customer column heading but either way, what you described doesn't work.

   Hello Mason,
   
   Try giving the alias in the fetch XML the same name as in the Column Header.

   I tried that too but no luck.  Assigning an alias in the FetchXML changes the value in the Column Heading under the Column tab but the actual grid still shows the label from CRM.  If I change the Column Heading value to something different than the alias within the FetchXML, the column disappears from the grip so the result is the exact same regardless if I use an alias.  It's worth notating that the behavior is the same for the Grid and Subgrid widgets.

   Hello Mason,
   
   I recommend that you delete the grid and recreate a new one from scratch. Without adding any additional columns, go to the column editor and add a custom title to the column heading. Publish the page and see if the header title changes.
   
   If the problem persists, please join a live Q&A session.

   I'll try that now although this is on all my pages that contain a grid.  When I build the fetchXML, I am copying and pasting the information directly from CRM so maybe that is causing the issue.  I'll try building it manually rather than copying and pasting in the fetchXML as maybe that is causing the issue.

   Problem solved!  I guess it would help if I modify the Column Heading field value that shows a default value of 'automatic' and not the actual Column Name value.  Sorry for wasting your time.
