Changing labels in an SDO

Posted by deirdre.obrien on 16-Mar-2004 03:59

Hi All,

Is it possible to change the field labels in an SDO? The label box in the SDO field properties is not enabled.

I have changed the field labels in the browse however, the filter available on the browse toolbar appears to use the labels from the database rather than the labels from the browse.

Dynamics 2.1A01

Progress 91D sp8

Thanks,

Deirdre

Under >>Build in the appbuilder go into Repository Maintenance.

Under "Object Type" pick DataField, then under "Object Name" pick the field you are trying to change the label of, then click "Apply".

Now Open up the "Objects" branch of the tree view. Then click on the "Attributes" branch of the tree that branches out of your selected field. In here you will see a list of all the atributes of that DataField, one of which is "LABEL". In here you can just change the "Attribute Value".

I think this will be inherited then by all instances of said DataField.

Any questions feel free to mail me.

You should be aware of Issue 20030605001 ie Changing the Label in the Entity does not flow onto a Dynamic Browser in the runtime environment. It still uses the Schema Value.
