Dynamic Label Source for Items and Columns

thaer Public · Sep 16 2025

Idea Summary
Allow item and column labels to be set dynamically, similar to item sources (Static, Item, SQL Query, PL/SQL Function). This would remove the need for static labels and manual patches when clients want changes.

Use Case

  • Client-specific terminology without redeployments.
  • Multi-tenant apps with different label needs.
  • Easy localization by fetching labels from a table or function.

Preferred Solution (Optional)
Add a Label Source property for items and columns, using the same source options as Item Source.

This is a great idea! You can already achieve this in APEX today with a slightly different approach.

    Thanks for posting this idea @thaer . You should be able to do this today using text messages. You can then programatically update the content of the text messages via APIs.

    Thanks @vincent morneau! I wasn’t aware of this functionality. I had assumed Text Messages were mainly intended for internal translations and similar use cases. This gives me a new perspective on how they can be applied.
