The ability to add a custom field to forms in NetSuite is a great feature that allows you to change the view of your system to adapt to your company’s environment. When adding custom fields, we typically need to update that change on all the forms the field appears in, so here is a simple way to rename the custom fields in NetSuite on all the forms.

In the Label field, you can edit the name to what you would prefer. For example, if we want to rename this Sales Engineer field to Sales Coordinator, we can just edit the field and then change the Label.
Click Save and then Apply to Forms, or click the drop-down arrow next to Save and click Save & Apply to Forms, to save your changes and open the Apply Custom Fields to Forms list where you will see what forms this field is used on. The Apply Custom Fields to Forms list is where we will update the changes to the field on all associated forms. The ones with a check mark in the Show column are the forms where this field is visible on the form.
To update your changes on all forms listed, click the Reset Labels button.
You will notice all the names in the Label column will then update from Sales Engineer to Sales Coordinator. Click on Save to save your changes.

The custom fields feature is just one way to edit your NetSuite solution to adapt to your company.
