How to change the custom table extended task fields without effecting child tables

[Yasin Shaik11]

Hi All,

I have created one custom table which is extended from the task table. And I can see the task table fields and here I want to re-use the task table fields by changing the labels of the fields. I have changed the labels of the task table which are present on the custom table, but it is affecting to the all the child tables of the task.  How we can do without effecting to the child table of the task table.  Could you please explain.
Thanks in advance 🙂

Hi,

You can change the label of Parent field for child table.

Open Dictionary record can check related list 'Labels'

Create new entry for your table and add your new label for child table.

Another way is to open your child record form

Right Click on the Field Label and select Configure Label

Set new Label and change the table name to your child table.

Select 'Inset and Stay / Inset' option using form context menu.

@Anil Lande  Do we have any option like Dictionary override? 

[Anil Lande]

To change label we have to use the way I suggested before.

Dictionary override is used for similar situation but that works for changes other attributes like Reference Qualifier, Default Value, Mandatory, readonly etc.

To have different labels we have to use Labels related list only.

Also can be achieved using client script 

g_form.setLabelOf('field_name', 'New Lable');
