How to dynamically set the label

312291Sep 24 2004 — edited Sep 24 2004
Is it possible to dynamically set the label of an item based on a value in a database table?

For e.g., there is an item with a name P1_CATEGORY. In a lookup table, the label for P1_CATEGORY could be mapped as either "Category" or "Section" or "Type" depending upon different situations. So, at run time, can the label be dynamically displayed with one of those three values depending upon the situation? If so, how can this be done?

Thanx in advance.

Hmmmm,
I pulled base.vessel_registration from the database while I pulled params.vessel table from the model browser.
I still can't get my head around the difference since I just pulled all tables from the DB to a new rel.model.
Seriously, considering moving back to designer, now... :(

I'll recommend to use DM import functionality or even to switch to standalone version of DM. The picture shows that you are mixing tables from different models or model and directly from database. Your life will be simpler with standalone DM.

Just in case someone else reads this I just want to be clear in that the problem was my importing the tables from different sources, one was directly from the DB while the other was from the list of relational tables.
Solution:
Get the tables from the same source.
I will be installing the stand alone version of DM.
