Change display name of a field in BPM / dynamically set the language of a process model

Question

Hello,

I my process model I would like to set the display name of a field dynamically. Is it possible?
If not, I decided to set the first name as german translation and the second as english. But then I have another question: can I somehow set the language, that should be taken in the process model, dynamically? Either direct in "BeforeStart" or as a parameter in the body, if I'm calling this model from another model.

Thank you!

Best regards,
Georgii

Hi,

the language for display names of fields is chosen by each user in his/her settings, and applies for the whole webclient.

Could you please explain what is the issue / why do you need the dynamic language selection on field-basis?

Hello Bratislav,
I just wanted to have one process for two tasks. They are same, but in one of them I have a checkbox "Add user" and in the other one I wanted to have the same checkbox (to save the whole logic of the process) but with the name "Delete user".
Thats why I was looking for a workaround and for finding a way to change the display name dynamically.

As a workaround I am using now two fields, one checkbox with no display name and one string, which value I am using to show as a display name and which I can change dynamically.

Anyway, I dont really need this as a feature.

Thank you!

Best regards,
Georgii

Hi Georgii,
i would recommend dont share different business logic in a process model or the same activity. If I understand correctly, please add two different activities in parallel and add two separate datafields to the model. Then decide in a transition event if the case A or case B is relevant. Solving this issue with language change is absolutely no solution. I know, you have to define things twice but its a cleaner solution.
