Can you set field labels in the model or resource?

BBigBlueMonkey I am sure this is going to be a stupid question but I find myself having to writ...

you mean, this?

TextInput::configureUsing(function (TextInput $input) {
    $input->label("Your {$input->getLabel()}");
});

TextInput::configureUsing(function (TextInput $input) {
    $input->label("Your {$input->getLabel()}");
});

TextInput::configureUsing(function (TextInput $input) {
    $input->label("Your {$input->getLabel()}");
});

TextInput::configureUsing(function (TextInput $input) {
    $input->label("Your {$input->getLabel()}");
});

Thank you for the response - no that's not really what I was thinking because $input->getLabel() is still going to return "Title". So perhaps to make it more obvious lets assume I want a 'title' field to be labeled as 'Sponge Cake' everywhere in that resource - is there no simple way to define the value that ->getLabel() pulls from?

    public function getLabel(): string
    {
        $label = $this->evaluate($this->label) ?? (string) str($this->getName())
            ->before('.')
            ->kebab()
            ->replace(['-', '_'], ' ')
            ->ucfirst();

        return $this->shouldTranslateLabel ? __($label) : $label;
    }

    public function getLabel(): string
    {
        $label = $this->evaluate($this->label) ?? (string) str($this->getName())
            ->before('.')
            ->kebab()
            ->replace(['-', '_'], ' ')
            ->ucfirst();

        return $this->shouldTranslateLabel ? __($label) : $label;
    }

    public function getLabel(): string
    {
        $label = $this->evaluate($this->label) ?? (string) str($this->getName())
            ->before('.')
            ->kebab()
            ->replace(['-', '_'], ' ')
            ->ucfirst();

        return $this->shouldTranslateLabel ? __($label) : $label;
    }

    public function getLabel(): string
    {
        $label = $this->evaluate($this->label) ?? (string) str($this->getName())
            ->before('.')
            ->kebab()
            ->replace(['-', '_'], ' ')
            ->ucfirst();

        return $this->shouldTranslateLabel ? __($label) : $label;
    }

The code in trait HasLabel suggests there is no way to do this cleanly?

You sort of can by adding @Leandro Ferreira 's (sorry for the ping) answer to the page (not the resource)

So in your

EditRecord

EditRecord

EditRecord

EditRecord page you can add something like this

public function mount(int|string $record): void
{
    TextInput::configureUsing(function (TextInput $component) {
        $component->label("Sponge Cake");
    });

    parent::mount($record);
}

public function mount(int|string $record): void
{
    TextInput::configureUsing(function (TextInput $component) {
        $component->label("Sponge Cake");
    });

    parent::mount($record);
}

public function mount(int|string $record): void
{
    TextInput::configureUsing(function (TextInput $component) {
        $component->label("Sponge Cake");
    });

    parent::mount($record);
}

public function mount(int|string $record): void
{
    TextInput::configureUsing(function (TextInput $component) {
        $component->label("Sponge Cake");
    });

    parent::mount($record);
}

this will change all labels in that form to

Not sure if this is a good idea though. Up to you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

disclaimer : not sure if this will have any unforseen side effects - haven't tested it thoroughly

Also,

Forms\Components\Field

Forms\Components\Field

Forms\Components\Field will apply this to anything that has a label (again, use at your own risk)

Fair, but then you are still defining it per page - which really isnt the intent. Ideal scenario is to put an associative array in model. Maybe V4

What exactly are you trying to achieve here? Do you want something that is pretty much a global change or a solution that is per-model? What's your ideal scenario?

You are way better of moving

form()

form()

form() &

table()

table()

table()

table() into the Resource rather then redefining it in every page here's a clearer example of what i mean

Ideally I have a model, and in that model I have all the attributes. Eg:

$attrubutes = [
'id',
'title',
'color',
'balance'
];

$attrubutes = [
'id',
'title',
'color',
'balance'
];

$attrubutes = [
'id',
'title',
'color',
'balance'
];

$attrubutes = [
'id',
'title',
'color',
'balance'
];

And then I have a lables array which updates the labels whenever this model is called

$labels= [
'id' => 'Document ID',
'title' => 'Document title',
'color' => 'Color of the ocean',
'balance' => 'Your account balance'
];

$labels= [
'id' => 'Document ID',
'title' => 'Document title',
'color' => 'Color of the ocean',
'balance' => 'Your account balance'
];

$labels= [
'id' => 'Document ID',
'title' => 'Document title',
'color' => 'Color of the ocean',
'balance' => 'Your account balance'
];

$labels= [
'id' => 'Document ID',
'title' => 'Document title',
'color' => 'Color of the ocean',
'balance' => 'Your account balance'
];

and then when I call

TextColumn::make('color')

TextColumn::make('color')

TextColumn::make('color')

TextColumn::make('color')

I no longer need to specify

->label(Color of the ocean)

->label(Color of the ocean)

->label(Color of the ocean)

->label(Color of the ocean)

anymore. And the same would be applicable to forms, lists, etc etc

ChesterS•6/5/25, 8:14 AM

This looks possible, but it's rather involved

You need to add method on each model you want to have custom labels (I suggest a method instead of an array so you can translate the strings) eg```php//YourModel.phppublic function getLabels() {return [ 'id' => 'Document ID', 'title' => 'Document title', 'color' => 'Color of the ocean', 'balance' => 'Your account balance'];}```
Use Leandro's suggestion to do something like ```phpField::configureUsing(function (Field $component) { $component->label(fn(Model $record) => method_exists($reocrd, 'getLabels') ? $record->getLabels()[$component->getName()] : $component->getLabel();});```
Either load the above as a trait or apply it globally.

Soooomething like that. I haven't tested any of those and, honestly, it looks like a bad idea. It feels like you're complicating things instead of simplifying them.
Anyway, I haven't tested any of the above but maybe they'll help you.

Appreciate it - thank you
