LabelBulkEditor labelBulkEditor = new LabelBulkEditor();

LabelType labelType = SysLabel::labelId2String(nameid
, "ja");
if(labelType)
{
SysLabel::
labelBulkEditor.modify("SYS123", "XXX", "YYY");
Info("done");
}

Hi VidhyaM,

Can you explain for which application or product you asked your question? The title mentions D365, but in the text you mention AX with a year number which was never a product. It might be a typo that you mean 2012 instead of 2021.

Can you also tell what you want to achieve using the coding?

Hi Vidhya,

In system, you will find different label files for each language (for standard labels) which you can not modify. If this is a custom label file, open the respective language file and find the label, you can make changes there. The code sample you mentioned, seems to do a bulk update which I don't recommend.

I wonder if X++ is really the best tool for it.

If I remember it correctly, AX 2012 uses .ald files to store labels in version control. If you want to do changes to it, you just need a text editor (such as Notepad++) or any programming language that can manipulate text. Maybe this ERP system isn't the best text editor available. :-)

By the way, please use Insert > Code (in the rich formatting view) when you want to paste source code to this forum.

Hi VidhyaM,

What is the update about which you want to apply to 20K labels?

Can you also tell why you need to have descriptions changed? What is currently blocking you if you don't have the descriptions updated?
