Reply To: Change Label Conditionally

The above is just an example.

So lets say I have 2 fields:
– format (radio buttons with two options [‘image’, ‘video’])
– content (textarea)

When the user (In the Admin) chooses format to be ‘image’ I would like the label for ‘content’ to be ‘Caption’.
When the user chooses format to be ‘video’ I would like the label for ‘content’ to be ‘Description’.

Sure, I could create two fields ‘caption’ and ‘description’ and set them conditionally based on ‘format’. The issue is then the user will have to copy their text and paste it in the next field. Which may not sound like a big deal, but when dealing with a repeater field where they have 20+ entries then it becomes one. Also I don’t want to have to add additional conditionals in my PHP code to retrieve the content.

I can understand that this may be an issue when trying to figure out the best way to do this in the GUI, but my team and I don’t use the GUI. We build out all the fields using PHP. So for now I am just hoping that this can be done with PHP.
