Hi,I would like to define my own display-label-id.I tried defining it in a "extension/test-context.xml" as follows: <bean id="ikModels" parent="dictionaryModelBootstrap"> <property name="labels"> <list> <value>alfresco.extension.workflow.ikModel&l

I think you have to update the webclient.properties file.
That's the file were all the labels are matched with the text which you want to see.

correct me if I'm wrong..

Yes, I know that I can update the webclient.properties file. The problem with updating this file, is that is not the prefered way of doing it.

Configuration changes should be done in extensions rather that in the default install location. When the .war redeploys these changes will be lost.

Can I define my own display-labels in the extensions folder, and if so how?

Using only the label-id as you're trying, you need to update the webclient.properties (this is actually the only way I've found out to make it work).

However, you have another way to create your labels and deploy in separate files. Have a look at the following wiki page:

if i understand it right…
this is the way i did it:

got an extension via AMP file
and in the amp file
folder structure alfresco/extension an own webclient properties
this extends the standard labels with your custom label

does it help?

best regards

That's correct, if present, a webclient.properties is also loaded from the "alfresco/extension" package, this can either be within an AMP or placed in <tomcat>/shared/classes/alfresco/extension.

Define a new label i.e.

mylabel=My Label‍

then refer to it in your property-sheet configuration:

<show-property name="bpm:workflowDueDate" display-label-id="mylabel" />‍

or if you are only supporting one language you can supply it directly:

<show-property name="bpm:workflowDueDate" display-label="My Label" />‍
