    Add field label to record list dashlet

    Hello, I use the record list dashlet to display records by created at and modified at, so that the user can see on the Home page, which records had been updated recently. It is working as desired, but I would like to be able to add the respective labels "created at" and "modified at" in front of the record data.
    Is this possible by the standard dashlet or do I have to create a custom dashlet for that?

    Hy,
    I think I know what you mean.
    I needed something similar.
    My solution was to create a text field and fill it with a formula.
    I then put this text field into the dashlet.

    In my case this is:
    kbpersons=string\concatenate('Personen: ',adults,' Erw.',' / ',children,' Kinder');

    I also use this option for the list view.
    Instead of always just leaving a simple number in it.​

        It's a workaround, but when you have multiple data points and various status options with checkboxes, it becomes challenging.

          So multiple data set points shouldn't be a problem.

          But I agree with you about the statuses.
          You can insert them, but unfortunately they will no longer be displayed as a label (if you have set it that way).
          They are then displayed as text as normal.

          As long as there is no other function, this is a very good solution.
          For me it's completely enough.​
