How do I change the labels of the Project State choice list?

[chillera]

I would like 2 Project State labels to change from:
"Closed Skipped" to "Canceled"
"Closed Incomplete" to "On Hold"

The resulting actions should remain the same.
I believe it can be done using dictionary overrides, but I'm not sure how to get to that specific dictionary.

Thank you!

I don't think for choices you can do it, what I will suggest:

1. Open your project form

2. Right click on your "State" label and left click on "Configure Dictionary"

3. Drag to the bottom of the new form and spot "Choices" related list

4. Using gear icon, bring table column on the list, and search for "pm_project" in that column.

5. You can update the labels of the state there.

Thank you, Aman. I didn't see a pm_project table which is what was confounding me. Instead, those label value (Closed - Skipped and Closed - Incomplete) are in the task table. I was able to change the labels there.

Much appreciated!

If you have changed on the task table, it will reflect for all inherited tables states which is inheriting the task table, and doesn't have state choices specifically defined for them.

I would rather suggest as part of best practice to create new choices specifically for Project table, using the New button on choices table.

Do let me know if you need help with that.
