Is it possible to have dynamic column captions in Power Apps entities per view? I want the column names to change based on different scenarios.

I need to change column names in Model-Driven app dynamically. Based on some formula and field category . Is it possbile ?

hi

In Power Apps Model-Driven apps, column captions in views are static and cannot be changed dynamically out of the box. Field display names are tied to Dataverse metadata, so the same caption is used across all views and forms. If you need different labels per scenario, the options are limited: you can create separate views with alternate captions, or build a custom PCF control to render dynamic column headers. On forms, you can use JavaScript (setLabel) to change field labels at runtime, but this does not apply to views. For full flexibility, Canvas Apps allow dynamic column headers using formulas, but Model-Driven apps require either multiple static views or custom development.
