Another thing you might want to watch out for is the use of External qualifications. If you have workflow that is building a char field for use in an external() qualification, that workflow might need to be updated so it builds the right qualification. Not sure how/if that applies to the ITSM suite, but something of which to be aware.

You will need to track down and replicate the label changes to all join forms that contain the enum field. Also, can't speak from recent experience here, but would any of the meta data used by SLA, CMDB, etc be impacted by such a change? I would assume these either store the integer value or the value, not the label. Can anyone comment from experience?

I've got a question around changing the alias value on HD, and our other custom apps. I just had this added to my "Is it possible to have this done before Thursday morning?" task list... I'm currently in the process of upgrading our dev environment to 7, this leaves me with a bit of a testing deficit. The current priority level of "Low" is a bit distasteful for our customers, and they would like for it to be renamed as "Standard". We have SLA's, notifications, escalations and some custom workflow objects that key off of this field and the value of "Low". I know that the SLA's and workflow objects reference the field/value in qualifications and set/push fields actions and there are several backend forms that I will need to look at as well. My question is, if simply changing the alias value would cause any issues with existing workflow or SLA's? What are your opinions/ideas? Any and all input is much appreciated!
