Piyush,

I am using active scaffold.

You can change the description of the fields:  
config.columns[:text\_field].label = ‘Your description’  
in your controller.

You don’t need to override the template, it’s a configuration option.

cch: ajax scaffold is already deprecated in favour of active scaffold

cch: If you finally have a need to do template overriding, all you  
need to is to copy a copy from AS views into Views\controllername  
and start hacking away 🙂
