Problem while renaming the standard field lable in the object?

Hi Friends,

 

               We have one object called "Address" which is used to store the address details. In this, object we have one standard field which is used to store the record name. Before that, we have two custom fields called "Address Line 1" and

"Address Line 2" .

 

              Now, we want to delete the "Address Line 1" field and want to use the standard field (Address ID) for Address Line 1.

While changing the field datatype from Auto-Number to Text and change the label name from Address Id to Address Line 1.

 

In sandbox, these changes happened successfully. But, in production, label name is not able to renamed from Address Id to Address Line 1. Even, i changed the label name from Address Id to Address Line 1. But, it is showing as "Address Id". When, i click on edit the label, there the value is like "Address Line 1". But, on layout, it is appearing as "Address ID".

 

Friends, pls suggest me how to solve this....

 

Regards,

Phanikumar

Hi,

 

Please delete that fields which you don’t want to show on your layout from recycle bin also and then try to make changes as you want. Now deploy the same on production.

Hi Jain,

 

        Thanks for reply.

 

        I deleted the field which is unnecessary in both sandbox and production from recycle bin also. Even though, the label is not changed to 'Address Line 1' in production. But, while editing the field(Standard field and API name "name"), that value is showing as 'Address Line 1'. But in layout, it is appearing as 'Address Id'.
