Field Label Change

Koki · ‎07-07-2021

Is it possible to change the "Column label" and "Column name" of an existing table in ServiceNow (a table that has not been extended)?

For example, I want to change the "Column label" and "Column name" of the "purchase_date" field in the table [cmdb_ci_ip_router], but I can't enter them.

Is it possible to do this without an extension?

Hi,

You cannot change column name of any existing column (custom/OOB).

However you can change Labels.

If you want to change Labels for Base table in extended table:

1. Open Dictionary of that field.

2. Scroll down to Labels related list

3. Add new record for your child table and add Label of your choice.

Thanks,

Yes,

If you want to set field Lable on some conditions the you can use g_form.setLabelOf().

It only work on form Views.

In list view you will see the Actual label only.
