Changing a form using form designer renames parent field labels to that of child

If a child table, such as pm_project, is saved using the form designer, the parent field labels (sys_documentation) are changed to those of the child. For example, changing and saving the pm_project form causes the short_description field label on task to change from "Short Description" to "Project Name."

1. View Labels list for task.short_description: 
   /sys_documentation_list.do?sysparm_query=name%3Dtask%5EORname%3Dchange_request%5EORname%3Dpm_project%5Eelement%3Dshort_description
   
2. Open any Project (pm_project) record. 
3. Configure > Form Design.
4. Make a trivial change.
   For example, change the position of Category and Subcategory. 
5. Click Save. 
6. Refresh Labels list for task.short_description from step 1.
   Note that the label Short Description for Task has been replaced with Project Name.

Label can be updated directly through sys_documentation.

1. Goto sys_documentation.
2. Click New.
3. Fill out these fields:
   • table = name of table
   • element = field setting label for
   • language = language code (en = english)
   • label = the label you want (example: number)
   • plural = plural version of your label (example: numbers)
4. Click Update.
