Question

Fill Field LABEL with data populated from another field

asked on April 28

I am currently working with a table in forms that has 7 days (mon-sun) of calculations the initiator fills out.  The initiator will select a 'Request Date' shown in the image that will allow them to select only a Monday for the week they are needing a Per Diem form.

 

Here is my dilemma:

Once the initiator selects the date needed, it automatically fills area 2 with the previous weeks dates for the days of the week.  This area will be hidden once the form is pushed out.

Area 3 is where the issue occurs.  I am trying to grab the dates populated from area 2 and fill those dates in the Field Labels in area 3, for example Date Mon populates '3/31/25' when the Request Date is 4/7/25 but the form still shows the field label as "Mon {dataset/d_mon}".   

 

Does anyone know a possible solution or a workaround?

Questions/Comments:

  1. Are you using the classic designer or the form designer? Also what version of Laserfiche?
  2. Variables in field labels must be known at form load time, this means if user 1 is setting the field, they wont see the field lables updated to use the variable name because it doesn't exist when they load the form.
    1. If they submit the form and it goes to user 2, user 2 should see the labels populated with the variable's value

If you intend the label data to be dynamic for both user 1 and 2 you would need to use JavaScript. If your intended flow is what I described here and it is NOT working for you that is a bug
