how to change field label and name through business rule

[dio]

Hi all,

I want to change the field name and label through business rule.

Thanks in advance

Business Rules are scripts that run on the insertion of a record into the database. To manipulate the page UI you're gonna need a client script.

Is this a field label on the classic UI / workspace / service catalog. Can you provide an image of what you're wanting to change? Is this a permanent change or based on a condition when the form is loaded?

Hi,

Why do you want to change field name?

After creation of field, you cannot change the field name on table.

If I have answered your question, please mark my response as correct and/or helpful.

Thanks,

You can't change the name. 

You can change the label using a script similar to this: 

changeRecord("task", "short_description", "New Short Description Label");

function changeRecord(tableName, fieldName, newLabel){
  var gr = new GlideRecord("sys_dictionary");
  gr.addQuery('table',tableName);
  gr.addQuery('element',fieldName);
  gr.query();
  while(gr.next()){
    gr.setValue('column_label',newLabel);
    gr.update();
  }
}

As Kieran says above, this doesn't seem like a logical thing to do. If you can explain the outcome you're looking for, rather than asking for a solution, the community may be able to advise you better.
