Hi Giezel,
One more trick.
Steps 1:
Set nolabel to true in your field.
E.g.
<field name="your_field" nolabel="1"/>
Step 2:
Set the two labels above to your field and apply condition inside the labels.
<label string="Label 1" attrs="{'invisible':[]}"/> <!-- Provide your condition inside [], if condition will be true the label will be invisible -->
<label string="Label 2" attrs="{'invisible':[]}"/> <!-- Provide reverse condition than above label. -->
<field name="your_field"/>By following this you can hide your make visible your label based on condition.
Hope this will help.
Happy Odooing...

Anil.
Its tricky ;)
<field name="my_field" string="LABEL1" attrs="{'invisible': [('partner_id', '!=', False)]}"/>
<field name="my_field" string="LABEL2" attrs="{'invisible': [('partner_id', '=', False)]}"/>So, here when you have partner, odoo will display LABEL1 as string.
Other wise LABEL2 for "my_field" field.
You can get some help from here.
it works, but this is an unrecommended solution, better to avoid this, imho
Update answer for above answers:
If you looking for solution to inherit view to change the label, try this:
\<odoo\>
\<!\-\-\ show\ custom\ field\ in\ form\ view\ \-\-\>
\<!\-\-\ inherit\ view\ \"view_partner_form\"\ \-\-\>
\<record id=\"view_partner_form_inherit\" model=\"ir\.ui\.view\"\ style="color:\#e8bf6a;">\>
\<!\-\-\ name\ is\ whatever\ you\ like\ \-\-\>
\<field name=\"name\"\>view.partner.inherit style="color:#e8bf6a;"></field>
<!-- this model field is the original model -->
<field name="model">res.partner</field>
<!-- this inherit_id value is get by "external id" from debug mode view form -->
<field name="inherit_id" ref="base.view_partner_form"/>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<xpath expr="//page[@name='sales_purchases']//field[@name='user_id']" position="attributes">
<!-- remove default label -->
<attribute name="nolabel">1</attribute>
</xpath>
<xpath expr="//page[@name='sales_purchases']//field[@name='user_id']" position="before">
<div>
<!-- add new label based on condition -->
<label string="Label 1" attrs="{'invisible':[('partner_id', '=', False)]}" for="user_id"/>
<label string="Label 2" attrs="{'invisible':[('partner_id', '!=', False)]}" for="user_id"/>
</div>
</xpath>
</field>
</record>
</odoo>
Hope it helped.
