Is there a way to create multiple label custom fields that share the same "label namespace"?

Ray Ramadorai1

I am looking for a way to create multiple custom label fields that access the same set of labels. For example:

* Serial Number(s) Requested

* Serial Number(s) Received

Both of these fields should autocomplete from the same set of labels, i.e. the set of serial numbers that exist.

Is there any way to do this?

Another related question is, can "aliases" be created for a label field? For example, if I want to refer to a given label custom field by one name in screen X and a different name in screen Y, but use the same set of labels in both contexts.

Thanks very much.

Not natively. The point of each label field is that they are separate, and generally, if you need the same lists, you use the same field.

I suspect you'll need to do some coding to achive this.

For the second question, again, coding is the only way to address it, but I actually suspect it's a dreadful idea because the whole point of a label is to use the SAME word to tie together things that are generally unrelated in any other way.
