How to change the Column name of the Table in the List view of ServiceNow (Not Dictionary Override)?

[karthik7]

Hi Team,

I have a query on how to change the Column name of a field in the list view of ServiceNow. This table is the OOB table.We cannot use the Dictionary Override in this case.Is there any way to Change the Column name while displaying to the user. Appreciate the leads.

Thanks,

K

Example : I just want to change the Column name of the "Number" in the list view.

Hi @karthik 

I don't know what you have done. Basically not the dictionary is changed but the records at table sys_documentation. This is the correct way to change the labels. 

Kind regards

Hello, 

I think there is no way to change a label of a column just in the list view, if you want to override the column name you have just to follow the steps mention by Maik. For more information you can vist and read this post.

Hi,

This is not possible as far as I am aware of. Changing it will change it in both Forms and Lists.

Workaround:

1) You may try writing a UI script written globally and then use DOM manipulation to change it for column label in List view. Make sure to put a condition in place so that the script gets executed only for specific table based on the URL of the Lists.

Hope this helps. Please mark the answer as correct/helpful based on impact.

"You may try writing a UI script written globally and then use DOM manipulation to change it for column label in List view. Make sure to put a condition in place so that the script gets executed only for specific table based on the URL of the Lists."

I think you shouldn't suggest "solutions" which only works in one experience (what about Service Portals or Workspaces), may break in the next upgrade and therefore are absolutely not recommended by ServiceNow. At least you should point out the consequences and not leave the user alone.

Agree on what you are have mentioned. Suggestion was based on assumption that it is needed only for Native List view and there was no mention of portal or workspaces based on the screenshot shared.

Good to have different views, thanks for sharing!!
