Change display of Boolean Values

Former Member

Hi Folks,

A customer has indicated that they need the fields we have assigned as Boolean to display a Yes/No value rather than a Y/N.

I have not been able to find a way to change this, am I just missing something obvious?

The only other work around I can think of is to change the fields from Boolean to choose from list = yes / no, but would like to avoid this as there are several hundred property definitions that needs to be adjusted.

Many thanks,

    Have you changed the True and False Text values on the metadata card configuration? By default, Boolean properties are Yes/No drop-downs, so the fact that they are currently Y/N for you would suggest that someone has changed them from the default.


    Sorry; I wasn't exactly clear. It is displaying as Yes and No on the metadata card and we are happy with that, however it is when the property is referenced in a project document and used to populate a cell in a table that it comes up as Y or N within the word document.

    But in answer to your question, no, we haven't made any changes from the metadata card configuration module.

    It seems quite minor but our client is insistent that they would like to keep it as "Yes" or "No" in their documentation as that is how they have always done it.

    Many thanks,
