Property Conversion​
Label control property conversion​
The main label type control conversion rules:
- If ParentControl property not defined, then label type control is converted to request page field. Label Caption and CaptionML properties values are transferred to new C/AL text constant Caption and CaptionML properties. C/AL text constant is used in request page field CaptionClass property.
- If ParentControl property defined and parent control has a value in CaptionClass property, then label property values are not transferred.
- If ParentControl property defined and parent control Caption property has a value, but there is no value in CaptionClass property, then label Caption and CaptionML properties values are transferred to new C/AL text constant which is used in converted parent control field CaptionClass property.
- If ParentControl property defined and parent control Caption property has no value, then label Caption and CaptionML properties are transferred to parent control field Caption and CaptionML properties.

Trigger​
If same trigger exists, code and C/AL local variables from request form control trigger are transferred to proper request page field trigger, otherwise there is new C/AL function created and request from control trigger code and C/AL local variables transferred to it. C/AL function can be executed on some request page trigger or not executed at all if proper trigger does not exists.
There are some different trigger conversion rules applied according to the control type:
Label trigger conversion
Label type control has only one trigger which is converted to C/AL function:
Label Trigger Function Name OnPush() “SRB_” + ID + “OnPush” Text box trigger conversion
Text box type control triggers are transferred to proper request page field triggers or to new C/AL functions.
