I am trying to rename a field in a dataset, but I get an error:

 >> someDS.Properties.VarNames{3} = 'NEWNAME';
 ??? Error using ==> dataset.subsasgn at 418
 Duplicate variable names.

No, there is no other variable with the same name I'm trying to assign!

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

What I can tell you is that "someDS" was created using the "join" function. The resulting dataset had no duplicate variable names. In fact, you can use any (valid) name you can think of on the right-hand side and you will get the same error.

I was able to fix the problem using a different approach, though. Before using "join" I assign names to the VariableNames of each of the dataset variables that I am joining (using the exact syntax above!!). The joined dataset has the VariableNames I want.

Regarding your question: "What is returned ... from someDS.Properties.VarNames". A cell array of strings containing the variable names in the dataset

I cannot reproduce the problem. Please post the complete code with a minimal working example which causes the error. Also, post the MATLAB version and OS.
