    I guess you are trying to change dialog fields label, which you can do it in your code on contact class, refer below code sample, 
     
     [DataMember,
        SysOperationLabel(literalStr("My Customers label")),
        SysOperationHelpText(literalStr("My Customer help text"))
        ]
        public CustAccount parmSynchCust(CustAccount _custAccount= custAccount)
        {
            custAccount= _custAccount;
            return custAccount;
        }

    When you mention that your code is not working, have you already used the debugger to find out if your coding is being executed at all and if it can find the control?

    This form which you are talking about creates controls on run time. So you need to check at which place most probably init of form. If init is the right method, you can then get the control and change the label from x++. Also as this form is called from multiple places, make sure that you made a check checking the caller so that this doesnt affect other places.

    I'm editing my comment since you added when I might be typing. So as I said you need to identify at which point this control is getting created and there you can do a coc.

    [ExtensionOf(formStr(DirPartyQuickCreateForm))]
    final class DirPartyQuickCreateForm_TDHospitalityManagement1_Extension
    {
        public void init()
        {
            next init(); 
            MenuItemName callerForm = this.args().menuItemName();
            if (callerForm && strCmp(callerForm, menuItemDisplayStr(TD_AllCustomerMenuItem)) == 0)
            {
                //  DynamicHeader_AccountNum is the technical name of the control
                FormStringControl control = this. design().controlName("DynamicHeader_AccountNum") as FormStringControl;
                if (control)
                {
                    control.label("@TD_LableFile:TDHM0012");
                }
            }
        }
    }

    I used this code but it is not working can someone suggest something else

    Hi,
     
    You are using the standard creation form for adding customers. This form (DirPartyQuickCreate) is used for multiple entities, as an example also for prospects. 
    The form is built up dynamically when it opens. It will then set the table for a common data source and include several fields from a field group.
     
    I do assume you also have the standard customer form where you need to need the original labels. If you try to follow the logic on initialization of the form you can try to change the runtime label with X++ coding.

    Hi,
     
    Try to search for "dynamicHeader_AccountNum" on the form , then change its label but as you know if you want to change the label on the standard form so you need first to create extension of the form and on the extension change the label of the field.
     
     
    Thanks,
    Waed Ayyad

    Hi,
     
    Can you please explain what do you mean by "create custable form extension for this menu item"?
     
    Do you mean you created an extension for custable and this menu item points to custtable?
     
    Also please share screenshots of your form in the UI and in VS

    Are you saying you want to change the label of the standard field CustTable.AccountNum (and it doesn't have anything to do with your new fields)? Or am I missing something?
     
    Can you show us a screenshot of the dialog form, or share its name?
