Rename Close Date to Expected close date on Opportunity

Hi Guys,

 

In Opportunity Object for some page layouts in my organization in record detail page the field lable is "Closedate" when i edit the same layout the same field label is like "Expected close date". How this happens?

 

Is it depends on any other settings or open / closed status of an opportunity? or any other ?

Hi,

 

Yes. We have a Option in Salesforce to rename field labels, but still the Field API Name is the same.

This is customization is to help your organization in reflecting business requirements.

 

When you rename a label, such as changing the “Accounts” label to “Companies,” the new label appears on all user pages. With rare exception, all pages in the Setup area use the default, original labels.

 

Follow this path

 

1. Your Name | Setup | Customize | Tab Names and Labels | Rename Tabs and Labels.

2. Click Edit link nearer to Opportunity

3. Click "Next" button

4. You can see that "Close Date" was renamed.

 

 

Yes, when we edit the page layout ...it show the default original name in the Edit Page Layout.

This is the standard behaviour.

 

Hope this post answers your query, mark this post as solved if it helps you.
