Modify Headers - Automatically Rename Row Labels

This rule automatically renames row labels. E.g., changes NET to Total. Often it may be better to chance such things using Find/Replace (see Rules, QScript Macros and When To Use Them).

You can find a simpler version of this code, which does not contain the controls, here.

form.setHeading('Automatically Rename Row Labels');

// Change the label of a given row
function changeRowLabel(current_label,new_label) {
    if(table.rowIndex(current_label) != -1) { // If there is a row with the specified label
        let row_labs = table.rowLabels; // Get the row labels
        row_labs[table.rowIndex(current_label)] = new_label; // Change the one of interest
        table.rowLabels = row_labs; // Set the row labels
    }
    else alert("There is no row called \"" + current_label + "\""); // Otherwise, present a warning message
}

let description = form.newLabel('Automatically rename a label whenever it appears in a row');
description.lineBreakAfter = true;

let label1 = form.newLabel('Old label:');
let combobox = form.newComboBox('old', table.rowLabels);
let label2 = form.newLabel('New label:');
let textbox = form.newTextBox('new');
form.setInputControls([description, label1, combobox, label2, textbox]);
let current_label = combobox.getValue();
let new_label = textbox.requireValue();

if (current_label !== null) {
    form.setSummary("Change the row label from \"" + current_label + "\" to \"" + new_label + "\"");
    changeRowLabel(current_label, new_label);
} else {
    form.setSummary("Change the row label (not applied as no row selected");
