Is there a way I can quickly apply the same alternate text label to dozens of fields on the same form

I am creating a custom Individualized Service Plan form for the QuickBase "Clinical" App, which I'm not sure if this is a custom app or if it was created by my organization as I have just begun playing with it over the past 48 hours.  Anyways, I created fields for "start date", "Target Date", Completion Date, etc. for each of 6 potential short-term objectives underneath 6 potential broad long-term goals.  So I labeled each field by the goal.obj # & description such as "1.1 Start Date", "1.1 Target Date", "1.1 Completion Date", "1.2 Start Date", "1.2 Target Date", "1.2 Completion Date", etc.  I did this due to intention to create checkboxes next to the long-term goal 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5 which will enable the objective to be displayed/hidden depending on whether the fields are needed (i.e. sometimes each goal only has 2 or 3 objs.).  I'm using dynamic form rules to link the show/hide action to the checkboxes above in the primary goal heading for each of the 6 goal categories.  So all that being said, I would like to keep the 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc. labels of my fields for data collection functions but I would prefer to remove those labels from the text displayed in the form to other users (mostly because I'm OCD & don't like how it looks).  I recognize that I can click the use alternate label text box located in to the right of the elements tab in the form builder mode, however it seems like that's going to take forever to do each one individually.  Is there a way that I can execute a programming script to were all my form fields that have the text "Start Date" in the name will display using the alternate label text "Start Date" but still keep my numerical ordering in the actual name of these fields?  If so, can you please explain to me how the entire process works because I'm very new to this and have never actually even executed a programming script.  Thanks!
