Parent Field on Child Table Label not working

[Dead Blade]

Hello All, I added the parent.number field to the child table.  The Child Table Now has the original number and the parent.number fields.  The Parent.number field Dictionary was added for the table to change the name to "Parent Number" for table X (parent table).

On the Child (table Y) form the parent.number field still displays "Number".  Of course if I go to the parent table (x) the number field displays "Parent Number".

It's the new year and maybe I need a longer break, but what I am missing, why is the child table not showing the parent.number field label as "Parent Number"?  These are OOTB tables and fields so they are extended from task of course.

Thoughts?

Hello

As you mentioned the number field on parent is also coming from task and to change label you must have used label secifically for parent table so you also need to do the same for child table as the label was changed for parent table and but tge number eventually is a task table field

Present an example of what you mean please.

If I attempt to add a dictionary entry for the parent field on the child table that will not work because it will change the child table Number field.  Am I misunderstanding what you're saying?  Remember, they are both labeled "Number" out of the box.  So the dictionary label entries contain 2 rows as of now.

Table	Element	Language	Label	Plural
Task	number	en	Number	Numbers
X	Parent Number	en	Parent Number	Parent Numbers

If I add Table Y entry

Table	Element	Language	Label	Plural
Task	number	en	Number	Numbers
X	Parent Number	en	Parent Number	Parent Numbers
Y	Parent Number	en	Parent Number	Parent Number

This would change the child "Number" field to "Parent Number", that is not the intent.  The intent is to change the parent.number field to display "Parent Number" on the child record since that field is added to the Form.

Am I misunderstanding your comment?

Hello,

Please find my comments below:-

Let's take the below example to understand this better.

I have number field on RITM form which I rename to test using Field label on RITM table as below:-

Now I go the the sc_task form which is basically the child of RITM, now I have two ways to bring the number of RITM to sc_task

Either I use Parent -> number   OR request item(which refers to ritm table) -> number.

You will think both works the same way but that is not the case. See the below screenshot. request_item.number label shows as test but parent.number shows as number only

The reason being because the field label is applied on sc_req_item so when you call request_item.number it is the number field of RITM but when you use parent.number it is basically the number field of task table.

Hope you got the difference.

So for your need see if there is any field on child table which directly refers to parent table then dotwalk it similar to the request_item.number for RITM and Catalog task.

Thanks.

Hello, yes I completely understand and there is not other field that refers to the parent unfortunately.  I am working with the rm_release and rm_release_phase tables btw.

My plan is to create a new field on the child table and autopopulate the parent release number to that field.  But I wanted to make sure I'm not missing something.
