Override State field label of Task Table for customized table

[Nancy8]

We created the customized table extended "Task" base table.     We are using "State" field from Task table.     However, we want to change some value for "State" field.   Our requirement is to replace "Closed Complete" with "Closed" in displayed value.       We still want same value "3" of "Closed Complete:, but we want to have displayed name is "Closed".     Can we override it?   Can any expert give some suggestion?

1) right click on the state field on the custom form and click configure choices.

2) move all choice you want to use from available to selected and save.

3) Now right click on state field on the custom form and click configure dictionary.

4) Under choices related list you will see all choices that you selected in step 2.

5) just change the label of the choice of closed complete to closed.

Hi Nancy,

You can go ahead and create new choices for the custom table for state field. Give in the label and choice values as you want.

Now right click and select configure choices. Choice your new created choices for the state field in the custom table.

Keep the value of your choices same so the OOB functionality will work for this table even.

Hope this helps you.
