are correct, the work item title is static. Not sure, but if people were to log
on in a different language it may still regenerate the text.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

time you have, there’s a workaround: using dynamic columns. This is customizing
on a per-task basis (SWL1 I think), and needs to be transported. Further, the
workplace inbox views need to be changed, and everyone has to access the posting
task using the ‘grouped by task’ view. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
