How to change Slurm squeue output column label?

I'd like to make a shell alias for customers to use like squeue --format="%.9i %10j %8u %8T %.12M %6D %20R %16P %.4C %m" The right-most %m format tag shows how much memory a job requested with the --mem=### argument, but squeue labels that output column as MIN_MEMORY. That is backwards, our IT has chosen to enforce memory policies that will OOM Kill anything that reached beyond its --mem= amount, so in this case that column should really say MAX_MEMORY. I have not found a different format tag to show it as an enforced maximum label, any chance there is a way to change that MIN_MEMORY label from %m to say something else for the label? It will be confusing for customer users to see MIN_MEMORY at the same time as they see OOM Killed... squeue --format="%.9i %10j %8u %8T %.12M %6D %20R %16P %.4C %m" CLUSTER: cluster-01 JOBID NAME USER STATE TIME NODES NODELIST(REASON) PARTITION CPUS **MIN_MEMORY**
