Child record table with dynamically header

Is it possible to change the header of a child record table dynamically? I kind of came up with an ugly but working workaround :D. But would be nice to have a better solution.

    This looks like an example of a CSS/JS hack, something Jacques TUR might be able to help with?

    Hello to both of you, 

    Here is a function to change the column title of the display field. Just call the function with the name of the display field, the column number (starts at 0) and the new title of this column.
    I use NativeJS to do this:

    function modifyColTitle(fieldViewName : text,numCol : number,newColTitle : text) do
    #{:text
 debugger;
// find the tab bar of top level form.
 var components = (widgets.popupEditorStack.length > 0 ? widgets.popupEditorStack[widgets.popupEditorStack.length - 1] : ui.sideEditor && ui.sideEditor).editor.currentTab.components;
 var table = components && components.find( c => c.field.caption == fieldViewName );
if (table) {
    table.$headCells[numCol].innerText = newColTitle
    }

}#
end;
modifyColTitle("View", 1, "photo")

    Could this help you?

      Jacques TUR hi. That looks super promising :). Where do I have to insert the function and the execution of the function? In a formel on the same popup? 

      As well with the display field you mean the name of the child table basically or? Like in my example ProjektStueckliste or?

    Getting close. With help of the debugger, I can see that probably $headCells is wrong as it is undefined. I am lacking a bit of those JQuery skills. I am not sure how to get to those head cells. I assume the inner element of the el element :D.

      Jacques TUR With that you mean a manual backup or?

      Martin Mueller Yes, a backup of your application (database) or a simple example with just what you are trying to do.

      About JQuery, to access a DOM component, use $headCells.get(0) or $headCells[0]. see more here.

      Jacques TUR Looks like a child table in record view isn't rendered as html table at all :) 

      I kind of try to understand how I can reach the custom head part with jquery

      Jacques TUR  Thanks a lot :)!!! I solved it with:

      table.list[0].firstChild.firstChild.children[numCol].innerText = newColTitle;

      Though would be interesting how it would look like if I have used JQuery :)

      Martin Mueller You are right, my first code works for a view field, but not for a child table. 

      This code works for both: 

      function modifyColTitle(fieldViewName : text,numCol : number,newColTitle : text) do
    #{:text
 debugger;
// find the tab bar of top level form.
 var components = (widgets.popupEditorStack.length > 0 ? widgets.popupEditorStack[widgets.popupEditorStack.length - 1] : ui.sideEditor && ui.sideEditor).editor.currentTab.components;
 var table = components && components.find( c => c.field.caption == fieldViewName );
if (table && table.field)
        switch (table.field.base) {
        case 'view' : table.$headCells[numCol].innerText = newColTitle; break;
        case 'rev' : table.list[0].querySelector('.nx-table__head').children[numCol].querySelector('.nx-table__head__cell__content > span').innerText = newColTitle; break;
    }  }#
end;

modifyColTitle("View", 1, "title of view");
modifyColTitle("Invoices", 1, "title of child table")
