# Edit system table messages

The default display name of some system tables, such as account and contact tables, is used in user interface text and error messages in Microsoft Dataverse. If you change the display name for a system table, you should also update any messages that use the default display name. For example, if you change the display name from *Account* to *Company*, you could still see an error message using the old name.

Editing this text is straightforward. Double-click the message to see a form with three columns:

|Field|Description|

|-----------|-----------------|

|**Default Display String**|Shows the original text.|
73-
|**Custom Display String**|Edit this text to change the display string.|
74-
|**Comment**|Optional. Include a comment about what you changed and why.|

Some of the message text may have placeholders in them. These placeholders are numbers with brackets on either side. For example: `{0}`. These placeholders allow for text to be inserted in the message. If you edit messages, make sure that you keep these placeholders.

## Programmatically update table display strings
8453

8554
For developers looking for a way to work with these in code, the display strings are stored in the [DisplayString](../../developer/data-platform/reference/entities/displaystring.md) table.
8655

8756
The `DisplayString` table doesn’t contain the default display strings. The two attributes for this table that contain text are [CustomDisplayString](../../developer/data-platform/reference/entities/displaystring.md#BKMK_CustomDisplayString) and [PublishedDisplayString](../../developer/data-platform/reference/entities/displaystring.md#BKMK_PublishedDisplayString). By default, these attribute values are null unless the display string has been customized and published. The `PublishedDisplayString` value is read-only and reflects the currently published `CustomDisplayString`.
