How can I show a field/label from a parent form on a child form, but with a different label?

[robhaas]

I have a parent form (Form A) that has an "Approval" field. This parent form can have one or more child forms, and I need to show the status of the Form A approval field on child forms. I can configure the form layout or design to include said field, but the label is still "Approval". I want it to actually say "Parent Approval" on only the child forms. If I change it in the dictionary, it changes everywhere. How can I change it on only the child forms?

My mistake, you need to use the Label related list to add a new lable to that filed for your your child table form.

Thank you Rahul. Exactly what I needed.

Ok, from the looks of it, the child and parent use the same element from the same table. They both use the element "approval" from the "task [task]" table. I am not sure how different values are being displayed, but do not want to create a new able given that it was developed this way.
