Losing Display Names w/Bloomberg Update

Using EV 8.1 with Bloomberg database.

I have an EV Workfile with linked series from Bloomberg. I'm using the series for Categorical Graphs and Dated Data tables.
For each series, I created Display Names using the Rename option.
The Workfile is saved. Everything works fine, until...

When I close and reopen the Workfile and Refresh the data from the database, all the Display Names are gone.
Is there anyway to preserve the Display Names after the Workfile is reopened and Refreshed?

Thanks for any suggestions.

With all database links, anytime you refresh the data all of the meta information is refreshed as well.

In your case, I would suggest creating a formula object equal to your database link and use the formula for your graphs and dated data tables.
