Hello,

As stated there :
https://www.originlab.com/doc/Origin-Help/Wks-SetColVal-MenuOpt-Dialog

the predefined variable This should be available for usage in the "Before Formula Script" box.
However, in the Variables/Predefined Variables menu (Set Value window), "This" variable is not listed anymore. But I can see it for the main box where to write the column formulae.

Anyway, if I try to use "This" variable, it does not work properly. You may try:

col(This)[L]$="BlaBla";

in the "Before Formula Script" box.

As a result, a new empty column is created with "BlaBla" long name.

How to correct this?

Thank you!

Well... the doc also clearly stated that "This" variable "cannot be used in the Before Formula Script edit box".

Please use the syntax below:
wcol(j)[L]$="BlaBla";

I used This variable in the past under Origin 2015. My memory failed to remember how I precisely did it. Sure, the doc is clear.

wcol(j) works, thank you for your help!
