How about adding lookup lable here ![nodots](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/e/9/e993d4ad397e8aad6dfd0c615fc6e27772c579d9.png) **same like** ![dots](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/d/0/d09c8a5cd45ba50cda8c13e6fe7715bac931f7bc.png) I don’t know but I feel that its simple and important to lookup a label for a tab since sometimes we are using it for localization workaround till the localization feature is published ---

Duplicate all tabs for every language you need to support (ugh!) 2. Dispense with tab labels altogether. Neither option is very appealing… ---

My use case for this is to enable counters along with the label names. So for example, in the fixed nav menu that appears across the bottom of a mobile device, you would see a count of the number of collection items that have been favourited. Similar to a lot of native apps. ---

Well still this is very important thing for translation and it will be easier to switch the tab names ---

Bumping. This could be a game-changer because this would allow to display user-specific notifications, e.g. nubmer of new, unread messages, tasks, orders, etc. User experience could get a 10x boost. ---

Can we make the Label field for a tab dynamic? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/5/2/5209ad46e14b8f4b3a540a3bfff3dddde53edf19.png) Example use case: I have an inbox as part of the MyJourney tab. I would love to be able to signal message alerts by toggling the name of the tab (Label) between MyJourney and MyJourney 🔔 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/5/1/5153d7e19892ca2ff61a5f269e9da47e956c490c.png) ---

I should have mentioned the workaround is of course to toggle visibility between 2 identical tabs with different Field names… but not very elegant. ---
