Can I change ticket field names?

Greetings oh gurus of great knowledge, I'm hoping to change a few ticket names. I'd like to call From, Service, and SLA something completely different. Is there a way to change their names? -Garren McKelvey

In the directory /opt/otrs/Kernel/Language/ is a file that is called xx_Custom.pm. You just need to rename to en_Custom.pm, or whatever your language is that you want to modify (this new file won't be overwritten by an update then), and translate the english default values to your needs. Tip 1: set your frontend to english to see the original wording Tip 2: don't forget to change the package name within the new file to the proper filename.

Thanks for the help on this so far! I am a bit confused on the package name issue. I clearly haven't set it properly because I'm getting this error: error OTRS-CGI-10 Global symbol "$START" requires explicit package name at ../..//Kernel/Language/en_Custom.pm line 23 I don't really understand what the package is or what the package name should be.

Hi Garren. You could always manipulate the language files: http://doc.otrs.org/developer/2.4/en/html/c772.html Greets Daniel Von: otrs-bounces@otrs.org [mailto:otrs-bounces@otrs.org] Im Auftrag von Garren McKelvey Gesendet: Freitag, 15.
