Can I change the caption of the column in a form in a modern Communication site? Example: Column in SharePoint list is called "Problem" and I want to have the caption "Describe your problem" or "What is your problem?".

  Hi Tomislav Karafilov,

  at the moment you have 2 options whether to change the column title or the description in the field settings

  

  

   

  For now the field label on the modern form cannot be different to the column name.

  Hi Matthias Walter is there any update on this feature, or is there an alternative that would allow changing the label of a field using modern forms?

  It is common in my solutions to create forms with long text for the fields, which are cumbersome to use as the column name. For example:

   

  Field name	Text	Description	Validation
  ProfitsYear	"How much gold, per year, do you expect to approximately dig out?"	Please provide an approximate amount in kilograms.	Please provide a number.

   

  thanks

  Hi Fernando Alves,

  the field label on Modern Forms is not customizable at this moment. Please add this feature request to Ideas Solution Studio Online to find out if this is a high demanded functionality on Modern Forms.

   

  For now I would suggest for your case to use an additional Rich Text control with formatted text information like that:
