Add additional options to Terminology tab on Layout Templates

We would like the ability to customize the terminology of the project status label, within the Layout Template settings (Terminology tab).


Example: a team in our organization would like to use the term 'Phase' instead of Status on projects.


On tasks, we would keep the term 'Status', so it would need to be an object-specific terminology customization.

I just ran in to the same issue. Because we can't customize risk objects we are using issue objects for more than just issues. It would be nice to customize the Issue tab label so that our team knows it includes risks, change requests, and decision logs.

Also want to change fields like Project Sponsor (in our case project sponsor is the requester).

If this helped you, please mark correct to help others : )

Also running into the same issue. I would like to change the "expenses" tab to elements for my specific use case.

I would like to change the name of the Project Owner field to say Project Manager in certain layouts.

In our company, we use the terms Project Leader (now Owner in Workfront) and Project Owner (now Sponsor in Workfront), which can be very confusing when we use the same terminology for different roles.
