How to change EPiServer's standard Category property label?

Vote:

Hi,

How can I change the label of the property 'Category'?

Normally, you can change the label in code (by setting DisplayAttribute.Name) or in the EpiServer Admin Section (by setting the Field Name in Edit Property). However, this is only working for 'normal' field typesd, and not for category selection. As described in this post (http://joelabrahamsson.com/hiding-episervers-standard-category-property/), the Category properties are hidden on all pagetypes except for one. On that pagetype I do have the Category field, but I want to give it a more descriptive name.

Regards, Leonard

You can change the name using the localization service as described here

Add the following lines to the xml file to change the "Category" name

    <contenttypes>
      <icontentdata>
        <properties>
          <icategorizable_category>
            <caption>The name you want</caption>
            <help>A helpfull description</help>
          </icategorizable_category>
        </properties>
      </icontentdata>
    </contenttypes>
