How to choose which node attribute shows up as label in graph

As the question states, how do I change the label that shows up on top of nodes in bloom desktop? I have two node attributes.

In the perspective view you can change which labels are hierarchically above (aka category) and below (additional labels). You might have to delete the old category and add the new one based on the other label.

Let me know if I should start a new thread, but I didn't want a duplicate, and I was looking for the same question, and the answer didn't fit the question, so hopefully it helps to put both answers here.

If I have a node (:typea { a: 5, b:6 }), if bloom decides to show property a in the Explore view, how do I get it to display property b instead? I don't want a node with multiple labels to be in a different category; I want a node with multiple properties to display a different property.

EDIT: I found it. On the Legend panel, click on the color and one of the tabs other than "Color" is "Text," which gives the choice of property.
