Allow custom display labels / aliases for dimension selector headers in PAW CubeViews

In Planning Analytics Workspace (PAW) CubeViews, context selector tiles and headers always display the technical name of the underlying TM1 dimension.

In many enterprise environments, databases follow strict technical naming conventions. Changing these core object names in the backend is not feasible. As a result, end-users are forced to see technical database jargon in clean business reports.

Proposed Enhancement:

Provide an option in PAW CubeView settings / widget properties to define custom display labels (aliases/friendly names) for dimension selector headers.

  • Example: Allow the author to rename the header dim_year to "Year" and dim_category to "Category" solely for visual display in the report.
