Want to rename the "Apply Template" UI action on Project workspace SPM

[ashutoshmis]

Hi All,

  I want to just rename the Label of UI action "Apply Template" in project workspace. But i am not finding the way to rename it. I tried in Declarative assignment but it is not working.

Please help on this if you have  past experience.

Hi @ashutoshmis ,

You can access the specific UX Form Actions Layout Item here:

https://<instance name>.service-now.com/sys_ux_form_action_layout_item.do?sys_id=c3827a025364011023beddeeff7b127f

After updating the label, save the record and the new label will appear wherever the Action is used.

Hi @ashutoshmis ,

I did some research on this, and it looks like the “Apply Template” button in Project Workspace is not a classic UI Action. Because of that, updating the label through UI Actions or Declarative Assignment won’t work.

Most actions inside Project Workspace (Next Experience) come from UI Builder or Action Sets, so the label has to be changed from there instead.

Here are the right places to check:

1. UI Builder – most likely source

Go to UI Builder → Project Workspace Experience, open the page where this button appears, and check the component that renders the action.

Many Workspace buttons have their labels defined directly in the component properties.

Action Sets:

Navigate to:

sys_ux_action_set.list

Search for “template” or similar actions.

If the button is defined as part of an Action Set, you can override the label there.

3. Localization (if it’s coming from a message key)

Go to System Localization → Messages
Search for a message containing “Apply Template.”

If you find it, you can override it with your preferred label.

Since this button isn’t controlled by a standard UI Action, these are the supported ways to rename it.

If this helps, please mark the post as resolved. 😊

Hi @ashutoshmis ,

I check for your problem pls navigate to All< Now Experience Framework< Declarative action< Form Actions

Table Name for your reference - sys_declarative_action_assignment

Search for - Apply Template

Try to rename from here.

OR

Navigate to table - sys_ux_form_action_layout and search for "Apply template" and try to change

Please mark my answer correct and helpful if this works for you

Thanks and Regards,
