Set Default Labels in FM

[MichaelB]

Is there a way to set default labels in FM for data items? Or is this just a Report Studio feature?

Basically, we don't have a durable model and was hoping to be able to set default labels for data items as a workaround to just changing the data item name as it won't update throughout.

I don't think there is a way to have the label come through from the model although I really wish there were although not for the same reasons you describe. Sometimes data item names are long in the package to ensure they are unique and descriptive but often a shorter or abbreviated label is desired for display on the report. If you find a way I'd love to know!

In your case the only suggestion I can offer is to use a 3rd party tool like Meta Manager to fix any reports affected by changing a data item name.

Thanks for the info. Will look into that!
