Changing the message in a system dialog box

[bwallis42]

Hi all,
I've been asked if I can change a message in the found draft for never
saved dialog. The message used is found in the apps/fr/i18n/resources.xml
file and I can make a local copy of that and change the message there but
this would create a maintenance issue in the future as I would need to keep
my copy of that file up to date.

Is there a way to override just one message from the resources file? Or
maybe another way to override what is presented in that dialog.

thanks
brian...

Hi Brian,

You can do this through properties. You can find more information about this
in the section linked below. In your case, say you want to override the
`found-draft-for-never-saved` resource. In the Form Runner resources.xml you
see it is under `detail/draft-singleton/found-draft-for-never-saved`, so
you'll want to set the property
`oxf.fr.resource.*.*.en.detail.draft-singleton.found-draft-for-never-saved`.
And note that when changing those properties, you'll need to restart the
server to see an effect, as those are aggressively cached (unlike most other
properties).

You'll let me know if this works for you!

Hi Brian, did you get a chance to try setting the property to override
resources? If so, did that work for you?
