Yes you can... the label is actully the prompt_text property of the text item by the time it gets to Forms; you can use the set_item_property to set the prompt_text for each item in the when-new-form-instance trigger, effectively ignoring whatever you have entered in Designer. You will need to figure out how the form is supposed to get the right text to display at runtime however (table-driven?). Also, you may need to be sure that the place where the prompt is going to be displayed is big enough...
