I want to change the field labels for related lists on a per-table basis.

[bonsai]

I want to change the custom field labels on a per-table basis.
I thought this could be achieved by simply adjusting the labels.

However, the field labels displayed in the related list did not change.
The related list is implemented using relationship records.
Is there a good way to handle this?

@bonsai 

if you change field label and that field is part of related list, it will show the new label

on form you can write client script to change label using g_form.setLabelOf('fieldName', 'New Label');

But nothing as such is available on list

Hi @bonsai ,
to change the label in the related list
example
if you want to change the SLA definition label to "OLA Definition" on the incident table 

create an onLoad client script like this 

in this case since the the related list is on the incident table I have created the client script on the incident table

you can create the client script on your desired table

Note:Isolate script should be = False and

the user preference should be with the form for this to work

script 

the fieldName is the name of the column(backend name) on the related list

and the tableOfTheField is the related list table name

function onLoad() {
   var fieldName = 'sla' // add you table here
	var tableOfTheFiled = 'task_sla' // related list table name
    var th = document.querySelector(`th[glide_field="${tableOfTheFiled}.${fieldName}"]`);
    if (th) {
        var link = th.querySelector('a.column_head');
        if (link) {
            link.textContent = "OLA Definition"; // add you new label here
        }
    }
}

result

and this only works in the native UI not on the workspace
