If a field label in a child table is changed, it affects which area?

• A. Child table
• B. Parent table
• C. Reference table
• D. Global table

Answer: (A)

Field labels are stored per field in the data dictionary for each table. When you change the label of a field on a child table, that update only affects how that field is presented within the child table’s forms, lists, and related views. It does not propagate to the parent table, because the parent has its own field definition and label. It also doesn’t impact the reference (lookup) table or any global table, since those are separate dictionary entries. In short, modifying a field label in the child table changes how that field appears for child records specifically, which is why the correct area impacted is the child table.
