Can't modify Related to: dropdown in Create Note or Attachment

[mmansperger]

Community Edition 5.0b

I have modified the Cases module and now call it Policies. I have been able to change the labels in various places except for the Related to: dropdown in the Create Note or Attachment (History) sup-panel.

I modified the parent_type_display dropdown through Studio and that made the correct changes to ALL other Sub-panels. However it had no effect on Create Note or Attachment (History) Sub-Panel. I also made changes to module_list & module_listsingular dropdowns and that also did not have any effect.

I searched the vardefs for the Notes, History, and every module that the History sub-panel touches and found no clues. I also repaired the database just for kicks, but it made no difference.

I am sure I am probably missing something simple, but it appears that the History sub-panel is using a dedicated dropdown and I can't find it.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Hmm, intersting. Matbe one of the guru's can wiegh in and help us out here!

Have you tried using a command line tool to search the files? grep for linux or explorer search for windows.

Can't think of anything obvious.

Hope you can find it,

Hello

you can rename the dropdown value for that from

include/language/en_us.lang.php

search for variable::::: parent_type_display

and change the

Cases to Policies ...

if it works, that Good!!

Good Luck!

HI, mmansperger

The dropdown related to notes is the record_type_display_notes.

andopes,

Thanks for the suggestion. It appears that History runs off of its own set of dropdowns and changing the languagr file variable parent_type_display did it.

Mike

Well I spoke too soon. I changed parent_type_ display in include/language/en_us.lang.php on a Windows test system that had no customization yet (clean install) and it worked. When I went to my production system on a Ubuntu 7.10 box it has no effect. I did a repar too, and no change. The Ubuntu system has had a lot of customization.

Still lost in Candyland...

mmansperger, it might be case sensitive.. kindly test ur changes or provide here,

Heta,

I didn't get enough coffe yet. It is not working on either system. Here are my changes.


'parent_type_display' =>
array (
'Accounts' => 'Account',
'Bugs' => 'Bug Tracker',
'Cases' => 'Policies',
'Contacts' => 'Contact',
'Leads' => 'Lead',
'Opportunities' => 'Opportunity',

It must be picking it up somewhere else. The Dropdown data is in a different order. See attached image.
