Hi @Hareesha 

 

You can go to dictionary of the child table field. In the related list, there is a list called Labels, create a new entry for that field for your child table

Hi Manmohan,

 

 If we change in labels it will also change in parent table. I doesnt need that.I need only in child table. I have almost 10 fields

Hi @Hareesha 

 

Go to sys_documentation.list and create a new record with following specifications

Table - The child table for which you want to create new label

Label - The name you want appearing on form

Plural - Add Plural of Label

Element - backend name of the field in the parent table

 

Refer below label created to change Impact label in Incident form
