Hello John,

There's no way to change the label for a field only for the way it is displayed in a list.

Hi John,

I would ask why would you require to change the label in list view and keep separate label on the form view.

There is no way to change list label alone, I had the same issue when I use dot-walking fields with same label from different tables in the same list.

We cannot change the dot-walking field's label in the related list since they are not appearing in the form. Please advise the customer to use the reference field in the related list.

Work-around : (but not a good practice)

Add the dot-walked fields to the child table/form, set the data from the reference field, configure the label and mark it hidden.
