Changing a field name

Hello,

I think my question is pretty straight-forward. How do I change the displayed name of a field on the Task table without changing the displayed name of that same field in a different form? I thought this could be done by just personalizing the label, but when I tried that, the name was changed in other forms. I tried looking in the wiki and the community, but couldn't find what I was looking for.

Specifically, I need the "Work Start" field to just read as "Start" in the Change Request form, but to still read it to read as "Work Start" in the Demand Request form.

Thanks in advance,

Albert

Albert,



You can do this by Navigating to the Dictionary Entry on the field. You can see that there will be tab 'Labels'.


From there you can add a new entry for this element but for a table which you want and can give the name as you want.


So, For The Start, you can add an entry as:


Table : change_request


Label : Start


Element: work_start

That did the trick. Thanks, Mani!
