Here CASH_BENEFIT is the custom field and you can use this field in the query using table FCI_DYN_$2147483547.

Cash Benefit is the display name of this custom field which will be displayed to all the users.

Click on this custom field to display its details :

If you want to inactive this field then you can choose ‘Inactive(Status)’ checkbox.
