If this works:

Xrm.Page.getControl(name').setLabel('Postal Code') = 'x';

Then why do these all fail:

Xrm.Page.getControl('address1_postalcode').setLabel('Postal Code') = 'x';
Xrm.Page.getControl('address1_stateorprovince').setLabel('Province') = 'x';
Xrm.Page.getControl('address2_postalcode').setLabel('Postal Code') = 'x';
Xrm.Page.getControl('address2_stateorprovince').setLabel('Province') = 'x';
Xrm.Page.getControl('customfield').setLabel = 'x';

('Postal Code);
Xrm.Page.getControl

Please suggest a workaround. Thanks.

But why do you need a Javascript to change the label on form.

It can be done from the form itself

Hi,

Instead of changing label using JavaScript.. you can change label from Form customization.. so that all places you will see same label.

All places means, all forms, views, sub grids etc. otherwise you need to change it all the places either by using supported Javascript or unsupported JavaScript.

even if you needed.. you need can change label like

Xrm.Page.getControl('address1_postalcode').setLabel('Postal Code');

Here are more details on form scripting

Hope this will help..

Thanks,

Wendy,

The HTML would not render if you are using the above mentioned method of setting the label.

One workaround would be to do a direct DOM manipulation, such as document.getElementById('yourControlName'), but that would be unsupported customization & not recommended.
