Using a client script to dynamically change a label makes required asterisk disappear

[kb22]

Hi All,

I'm using a client script to alter the text label of a field.

var field = 'wfe_senior_director'; // wfe_senior_director is the database name for the variable

 var labelElement = $('label_' + g_form.getControl(field).id).select('label')[0];

   labelElement.innerHTML = "Who is the requested for's AVP or VP?";

The script functions correctly, but once the label is changed, the mandatory field asterisk is no longer visible.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

There's a g_form method to do this;

g_form.setLabelOf('comments', 'Who is the requested for\'s AVP or VP?');

I'd use this as SN ensures that method should work on both SP and Desktop, and also, that it works with mandatory indicators.

can you please help me here ?

Thanks for the quick response.

Unfortunately, that doesn't appear to work in the Service Portal / Service Catalog.

This works for me.

Is you client script marked as UI Type "All"?
