SHarePoint online field renaming

[Jay Nebben]

In the new form i’ve been using the code below to rename fields:

$(spjs.dffs.fields[“Internalname”]).find(“td.ms-formlabel h3 nobr”)[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue = “NewName”;

This does not seem to be working in Office 365. Error message attached

In office 365 there are no h3 node (just a span with class ms-h3). Try changing it like this:

jQuery("#dffs_FIELDINTERNALNAME").find("td.ms-formlabel nobr")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue = "NewName";

What is the syntax difference for the display form? Your example is working in the new/edit forms, and I’ve tried several variants for the display form without success. We’re using SP 2016 on-prem.

Thanks.

Hi,
In DispForm the HTML structure is different – try using this:

jQuery("#dffs_FIELDINTERNALNAME").find(".ms-standardheader").text("NewName");
