set field internal name with list.updatelist webservice

Question

Is it possible to set a field's internal name in the List.UpdateList webservice? I can set the DisplayName but no matter what I try for Name it does not work.

<Field DisplayName="this gets set" Name="thisDoesNotSet" ... />

Answer 1

Yes it will not get set. Workaround is

1. Add field and set DisplayName="thisDoesNotSet"
2. Now SharePoint will set both Display and Internal to thisDoesNotSet
3. Update Display Name to this gets set
