{Portal} Dynamically set a field label using Liquid

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

I have a unique requirement where I need to dynamically update a Field's label on a portal page.  I know how to grab the dynamic value that I need to append the field label with, but I am not sure how to update a field's label, or if it is possible.  Just looking for some liquid code to adjust the field label on the form.  Example of what I am looking for:

CRM Form field label: Previous Year's Sales

Desired Portal field label: 2018 Year's Sales

I have the ability to get the "2018" text, I just need to inject it into that field's label.

Thanks in advance!

    Thanks, Aric.

    Because I did not want to display the Year field anywhere on the portal page, I decided to use Liquid code to get the "2018" value.  I then set these values as Javascript variables in a function, and used your code to adjust the field name. It looks something like this (in a Web Template):

    {% assign account= entities.account[request.params.id] %}

    {% if account%}

     {% assign currentyear = account.yearfield.label %}

           {% endif %}

    <script>

    $(document).ready(function () {

     $('#field').text("{{currentyear}} Year Sales");

    });

    </script>

    You can use jquery for this. Get the name of the field, and modify the properties as follows:

    var fieldName = "new_yearsales";

    var fieldLabel = "2018 Year's Sales";

    $('#new_yearsales_label').text(fieldLabel);

    Notice that the jQuery field names prepends the # sign, and suffix the _label in order to change the label.

    This code will have to go in your Custom Javascript section of the Entity form:

    $(document).ready(function () {

      $('#new_yearsales_label').text("2018 Year's Sales");

    }

    Hope this helps.
