Are field names in Client Information editable?  Doesn't seem like it, but I thought I'd ask....

Technically yes. You can edit the right hand side (after the = sign) of the MessagesBundles_en_us file in the Lib folder. This is used for translations in other countries but you could edit it too. Just make sure to save a copy of the file as it gets overwritten at each update so you'd need to copy the changes back.

Hmmm...I see that MessagesBundles_en_us.properties is a UNIX executable file, and my MacBook Pro has no app to open it.  Plus, nothing except Read4Me was suggested at the "app store."  Can I still edit that file?

OK, I just changed the extension from .properties to .txt in Finder using Get Info, and PI-YOW...opened it right up with Text Edit.  I'll try making the change, then save it, then check it out in HIP.

Back in a few minutes.....

It worked.  Dominic, I never would have figured that out on my own - thanks for the push in the right direction!

Oh, I'd searched the forums for the answer to my original question, but I only found one thread where I think you'd said editing the Client Information might be an added feature in a later version of HIP....

Sorry , I forgot to mention you could open it in a text editor!
