How to override the field name?

Hi @Harry ,

We can use the workflow to change the display name of the field
 

Steps to Update the Display Name Using Workflow:

Navigate to the Workflow Editor:

Go to Customization → Workflow.
Select the screen where the time card details grid appears (likely in the EP301000 or similar screen ID for employee timecards).

Locate the Grid and Field:

In the Workflow Editor, look for the Employee Time Card Details grid (usually linked to the EPTimeCardDetail DAC).
Find the Description field within the grid configuration.

Change Display Name via Workflow:

In the Workflow Editor, select the field properties for the "Description" field (the field that displays a label).
Look for the option to change the Display Name or Caption for that field.
Update the display name to your desired label (e.g., "Project Description").

Save and Publish the Changes:

Once the changes are made, save the workflow and publish it.
 

Hi @Harry,

For your requirement, you can use Acumatica’s Low Code- No Code functionality.

• You need to navigate to the customization editor, and Add the Employee Time Cards screen to the Screens section.
• Extend the Screens section and click on the Fields section. Add the fields name by selecting correct fields to be renamed.
• After adding and closing popup you will get below screen as per screenshot, there is an option as Display Name, where you can Change the display name.
• Change Name as per you requirement and publish the customization.

Hope, it helps!

Hey @jinin ,

where can I find the Grid? as you mentioned in the first step as you suggested.

HI @Harry 

You could use a RowSelected handler like so:

protected virtual void _(Events.RowSelected<YourDAC> e)
{
YourDAC row = e.Row;
if(row == null) return;

PXUIFieldAttribute.SetDisplayName<YourDAC.yourField>(e.Cache, "Your Display Name");
}

Hope this helps!

Hi @Harry ,

Please choose the container as Summary and select the field as Description. Click on the Add and Close button. Next, update the description and save it. Finally, publish the package.

Hello @jinin , thank you for the clarity but I am looking to modify the name under Details tab 😅. I added/enabled the Project description field using the project editor since by default it is not there.
 

 Hi @Harry,

Little bit confusion, I am understanding Project Description field from Summary Tab.
However, The ProjectID_Description field is not directly related to the EPTimeCardDetail table/DAC. This is a dynamic field that pulls the project description from the Projects screen when a Project ID is selected. Since it is not inherently linked to the EPTimeCardDetail table, we are unable to rename this field.
