Dynamic Caption on fields

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 5

I need the caption of a field on a page to be possible for the User to change.

I have a table with a description field that is text[50] which can take a user input, I would like for that user input to become the caption on another field (not in the same table) if the value is not empty.

Meaning if the Description field is empty, I want to use the caption I have added to the field on the table, but if the description is not empty I would like the caption to be changed to the text in the description.

I´ve tried using a text variable and label, but whenever I try to set the caption on the page field to any form of variable, I am told to use a string literal, which I can´t seem to make dynamic.

I have the same question (0)

    Hello  - We currently do not have dedicated Dev support via the Dynamics 365 Business Central forums, but I wanted to provide you some additional resources to assist.  If you need assistance with debugging or coding I would recommend discussing this on one of our communities.

    I will open this up to the community in case they have something to add.
