    If u want to skip change in API name, you can change only Label.

    @shekhar-gadewar, do you mean that API name automatically changes when you change the label? If yes, API names might have been used at several places in the Apex code, how to deal with that?

    Hi Mark,

    When changing label, it will also try to change API name. This you can avoid by keeping same API name.

    Best Practice: Never change API name and only change label as we have used API names at many places.
