We use the system name by following naming conventions like
Display: Company Name Other
System: XX_CompanyName_Other
This becomes a problems when you use "grouping" within list views (see image). Basically, the system name comes through instead of the "Display Name".
Is there a way to get the display name to show up when groupings are used? I'm guessing this might be an "Advanced" option but I'm a little lost on that.
I'd like to see the grouping display "Story Status" instead of "SI_storyStatus" ...
Solved! Go to Solution.

This is a really odd issue .. it's almost seems situational or that there are just different ways to solve the same problem ... this worked for me ... The two bold type script lines being the key.
I'd like to thank everybody who replied though as it did help me get to where I needed to be.
group.0.displayname=Story Status
group.0.iscollapsed=true
group.0.linkedname=direct
group.0.namekey=SI_storyStatus
group.0.namekeyargkey.0=Story Status
group.0.valuefield=SI_storyStatus
group.0.valueformat=customDataLabelsAsString
textmode=true

You might be able to make use of this Groupings blog post.
Also, this "Quick tip" post.
Tried Standard Mode -> Text Mode and added group.0.displayname=Story Status but the display name for the grouping did not change ...
Tried group.0.name=Story Status .. same result ..
I feel like I'm missing something simple here

Can you post your code? I think I was trying this out with one of my coworkers last night and we found that deleting all the namekey lines also helped.
group.0.iscollapsed=true
group.0.linkedname=direct
group.0.namekey=SI_storyStatus
group.0.valuefield=SI_storyStatus
group.0.valueformat=customDataLabelsAsString
textmode=true

It's not working bc you still have 'key' in that line. What I posted doesn't. You'd have:
group.0.name=SI_storyStatus
try this:
group.0.iscollapsed=true
group.0.linkedname=direct
group.0.name=Story Status
group.0.valuefield=SI_storyStatus
group.0.valueformat=customDataLabelsAsString
textmode=true
For some reason this does not work either ... I did find an alternative.

When viewing your report (not editing it), make sure the View is set on Report Default.
confirmed - same issue ... good idea tho' - I've seen those in other scenarios, does not seem to apply here

If you change your groupings tab when editing a report to text mode, you'll see a grouping line with 'namekey' like this:
group.1.namekey=view.relatedcolumn
This is where you can easily modify it to anything you want by removing anything from 'key' on and replacing it with just name=X. For example:
group.1.name=Story Status
If this helped you, please mark correct to help others! : )
I feel like what you are saying is make this -
group.0.iscollapsed=true
group.0.linkedname=direct
group.0.namekey=SI_storyStatus
group.0.valuefield=SI_storyStatus
group.0.valueformat=customDataLabelsAsString
textmode=true
Into this (changes in bold)
group.0.iscollapsed=true
group.0.linkedname=direct
group.0.namekey=view.relatedcolumn
group0.name=Story Status
group.0.valuefield=SI_storyStatus
group.0.valueformat=customDataLabelsAsString
textmode=true

Almost, you're missing the 1st period after group. Grab what I posted, all you need to change in your grouping text mode is the group namekey line. Change this:
group.0.namekey=SI_storyStatus
To this:
group.0.name=Story Status
Did not work. However you idea helped.
