    See,

    Create a group and move all fields from General to that group.

    Give captions to that group.

    And hide General group.

    Yup. For these calculated values and the one under the Caption Class you have to create a facade field with the caption you like and make the standard field not visible.

    Hi Waqar Ahemad,

    AFAIK you cannot change the Captions of the fields which already have a CaptionClass.

    Add a new field in the page with source as variable and add you caption as needed.

    And then modify the

    addafter(TotalSales2)

    {

    field(TotalSales2_NEW;GetTotalSales)

    {

        ApplicationArea= All;

        Caption= 'Your Caption'

    }

    }

    modify(TotalSales2)

    {

      Visible = false;

    }

    Hi, Aotto

    Thanks for your quick response .

    One thing can you please give me any example what you actually want to say like we have a field name Total sales in sales invoice we are unable to change its caption so how we can add new field for this with the same source ?

    Another also we have noticed there are multiples of fields which donot change its caption so we have to use your idea for all fields like Address, city , Contact in sales Invoice ?

    You cannot change existing field caption in Page Extension object.  What you need to do is to hide the field  and add new field with the same "Source" then you can change the caption

    See below link for what you can or can't do in Page Extension.

    Hi, Duilio,

    Thanks for your quick response.

    I am trying with below code.

    {

       layout

       {

           // Add changes to page layout here

           modify(TotalSales2)

           {

               ApplicationArea = Basic, Suite;

               Caption = 'Total';

               Importance = Additional;

               ToolTip = 'Specifies the number of the contact the invoice will be sent to.';

               //CaptionClass = Format(StrSubstNo(OverduePaymentsMsg, Format(WorkDate)));

           }

    also i was trying with XLIFF  file but no luck.

    What kind of changes you did? Have you implemented an appropriate XLIFF file or?...

    What you mention are NOT fields, these are global variables calculated within the pages. See below W1 version

    ...

                   field(TotalSales2; GetTotalSales)

                   {

                       ApplicationArea = Basic, Suite;

                       Caption = 'Total Sales';

                       Style = Strong;

                       StyleExpr = TRUE;

                       ToolTip = 'Specifies your total sales turnover with the customer in the current fiscal year. It is calculated from amounts excluding VAT on all completed and open invoices and credit memos.';

                   }

                   field("CustSalesLCY - CustProfit - AdjmtCostLCY"; CustSalesLCY - CustProfit - AdjmtCostLCY)

                   {

                       ApplicationArea = Basic, Suite;

                       AutoFormatType = 1;

                       Caption = 'Costs (LCY)';

                       ToolTip = 'Specifies how much cost you have incurred from the customer in the current fiscal year.';

                   }

                   field(AdjCustProfit; AdjCustProfit)

                   {

                       ApplicationArea = Basic, Suite;

                       AutoFormatType = 1;

                       Caption = 'Profit (LCY)';

                       Editable = false;

                       Importance = Additional;

                       ToolTip = 'Specifies how much profit you have made from the customer in the current fiscal year.';

                   }

                   field(AdjProfitPct; AdjProfitPct)

                   {

                       ApplicationArea = Basic, Suite;

                       Caption = 'Profit %';

                       DecimalPlaces = 1 : 1;

                       Editable = false;

                       Importance = Additional;

                       ToolTip = 'Specifies how much profit you have made from the customer in the current fiscal year, expressed as a percentage of the customer''s total sales.';

                   }
