Customizing Field lables based on value of Key1

[erymer]

Hello,

I am new to setting up Goldmine and here is what I am trying to do. I have two distinct record types and would like to change my field labels based on which type of record I am using. For example when Key1 = "organization", I would like my user defined field "ustart" to be labeled “Start Date” and when Key1 = "Vendor", I would like the "ustart" label to show up “Logo Received”. Ustart is a user defined field which appears in the Fields Tab. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Ermer

That sounds like it could get messy.

You might be able to make a trigger that would update the fields tabl but it would sacrifice performance - if it would even work.

You could look into Lookup.ini that would update another user defined field.

Here is something similar that updates one field based on state

In your Lookup.ini ...
