Is there an easier way to do this than going into each library and manually changing the columns. Making sure each column matches up gets tedious.
I have the list of all the columns in all the libraries, it's just a pain to match up all the libraries that need editing, going into them, changing the columns, and hoping I didn't miss one or get it wrong.

You can change the visible name without a major restructure. Just don't change the #name or type
AFAIK the gui.json will be updated if you have used the columns tool.
It might be faster/easier to create a new library and tick the '
copy structure', then use the Copy To Library, delete after tool (a
move) Anything left over WAS a problem, then the old, now empty Library can be deleted
