What is the result of changing a field name that is used in downstream Prism calculation field definitions?

Changing a field name that is referenced in downstream Prism calculation field definitions will lead to an error being generated during processing. This is because the calculations depend on the specific names of the fields; if a field has been renamed, the existing calculations can no longer locate the field they need to access. Consequently, the system generates an error indicating that it cannot find the renamed field. This is essential in maintaining the integrity of data references in calculations, as accurate field naming is crucial for the correct execution of formulas and computations in Workday Prism.

The other scenarios do not accurately reflect the system's behavior. For instance, if the calculation were to process normally or if the field were simply ignored, it would suggest that the system could still operate correctly despite the name change, which is not how it functions. Similarly, the idea that the field would revert to its original name undermines the intent of the field renaming action and the operational logic of the system.
