Replaced by:
This is an independently developed replacement for this module for Drupal 8 and onwards. It also supports replacing the field label in form displays.
This module allows site administrators to override the Field Label on any field in the Manage Display settings page. This allows each field to have a different title in different view modes.
Instructions
The field formatter label settings are found in the Manage display tab for content types, users, and other entities. A text box is available for each field's label, revealed by using the formatter settings edit button (Gear wheel icon) for that field. If no 'Label override' is specified then the default will be used.
This module is for Drupal 7 only. For Drupal 8 and onwards, see Entity Form/Display Field Label module.
Dependencies
- Field formatter settings: Provides the low-level API needed to alter formatter's settings forms.
Related projects
This module is almost identical to the Field Display Label module, the sole difference being that the label can be overridden in the Manage Display UI (rather than on the field configuration screen).
This module should work just fine with the Field Display Label module in the way you expect. If it is enabled the following logic dictates what a field's label will be:
1. Use the Field Formatter Label override, if it is not specified then:
2. Use the Field Display Label override, if it is not specified then:
3. Use the Field label (as per Drupal core behaviour).
