RE: File field names

That's true, but I didn't think it was part of the original question.

Except for building some sort of metadata reference information or
attempting to glean field purposes (risky, this way, btw), why would one
want to know the referenced field names?

This is just a question, not a put-down in any way; I'm just curious.

But something is missing, at least in V4R4, the referenced
field.
