If the users should be able to change the caption of the form globally, by changing some setting in the system, labels are not ideal for that.
Instead the user input should be saved to a new setup table, and in the form's init method, assigned to the caption property.
You could even have language support, if you add languageId as a field to your setup table.
If different users (or users in different companies) should be able to set different values, changing the label wouldn't work anyway, because it would change for everyone.
If you manage to change the resource file (which you can't), you would achieve very little, because the change would be lost at the next deployment of the package.
I wonder what's the actual business requirement that you decided to solve by this technical solution. Maybe they should simply request a minor change and get it delivered in the usual way, assuming that you own the label file and can make changes. If not, you may also need to update properties to use a new label ID from your own package. Or maybe you need something more complicated, e.g. if you want different users to set different values.
Hello Martin,
I would like to modify the label text, I need the label of a form to be dynamic, the user will have the option of assigning the name to the form and changing it whenever he wants.
The reason why I do not use the caption property of the form is because I need to change the text of the label globally.
Is this possible?
In AX2012 you could use SysLabelEdit.labelModify but it seem that class does not exist in AX365.
But like with all other development elements in AX365, if you change the file for the element, the element will also be changed in the application, so if you find the label file in the folder C:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory, you can change the file directly. (Will not work in production only on you development enviroment)
Please tell us what you're trying to achieve, so we can suggest a solution that actually can be done.
Labels are compiled to .NET resource files; you can't change them at runtime.
