How to rename a view returned by REST API
The answer was already in the question.  Turns out the option to add aliases is exactly the same for other fields...it's just a little counter intuitive. Go to Administration--&gt;Structures--&gt;Views--&gt; Constants view --&gt; Edit --&gt; then select &quot;Constants&quot; from the &quot;Displays&quot; Then select &quot;Settings&quot; next to Show... All the aliases can be entered there.  Then save the changes.  Now you can reference the view by alias rather than the view_[ID] reference.
