Adding a custom product field or change the name of default product field.

Hey,
I have a necessity where either i have to create a new product field or else change the name of default product field. Is there a way by which i could change the name of GTIN field or manufacturer part number field to any other name. For ex if i want that instead of gtin text it start showing "Job Number" while adding a product.

There is nothing special about the GTIN number, so there should be no problem with just changing the field label in the view.


At about line 605 in the /Administration/Views/Product/_CreateOrUpdate.info.cshtml, look for this code:

                    <div class="form-group @(Model.ProductEditorSettingsModel.GTIN ? null : "advanced-setting")">
                        <div class="col-md-3">
                            @Html.NopLabelFor(model => model.Gtin)
                        </div>
                        <div class="col-md-9">
                            @Html.NopEditorFor(model => model.Gtin)
                            @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Gtin)
                        </div>
                    </div>

You need to replace the bolded line with this:
Job Number:

The only thing I can think of that it would ultimately effect is that if you submit a product feed to google products(adwords), the value sent to them for the GTIN would not be a real GTIN, but you could just submit your product feed to them with an additional column containing the GTIN, or pass-through a "False" value for the "identifier_exists" column.

For changing the name of a field just edit its corresponding resource string value. You can add unlimited number fields as product specifications
