I’m upgrading my environment and replacing my old InfluxDB 1.8 with 2.7.3 and am learning there’s a good bit of a learning curve. I’ve got almost everything squared away, but am having an issue with a single field aliasing, all others are working just fine and I suspect its the math in the map function.

```auto
from(bucket: "sensors")
  |> range(start: v.timeRangeStart, stop: v.timeRangeStop)
  |> filter(fn: (r) => r["_measurement"] == "mqtt_consumer")
  |> filter(fn: (r) => r["_field"] == "office_temperature")
  |> aggregateWindow(every: v.windowPeriod, fn: mean, createEmpty: false)
  |> map(fn: (r) => ({ r with _value: float(v: r._value) *9.0/5.0 + 32.0, _field:"Temperature"}))
  |> yield(name: "mean")

```

Trying to simply rename the field variable to read Temperature but with this singular field it only renames a portion.

Any help would be appreciated.

For the time being I’m using an override, but would be nice if I could directly alias within the query as I’m not a big fan of overrides.

@morbiddk Is this in an InfluxDB dashboard or a Grafana dashboard?
