   We are looking to change the Boolean Labels using the get_model method via JavaScript for instance changing "Yes" to "Allow" in certain situations where changing the label in the Model on the Widget won't fit our Use Case. We do this with some Picklist fields via this method: 
   tpc.forms[0].rfr_primaryca.get_kendoInput().dataSource.data()[1].Label = "Hello"; 
   tpc.forms[0].rfr_primaryca.get_kendoInput().dataSource.data()[2].Label = "Sí"; 
   tpc.forms[0].rfr_primaryca.get_kendoInput().refresh();
   
   We can get the get_model to return the BooleanLabels but not change the Array / Text.

   Hello Eric,
   
   Thank you for posting your query.
   
   Looking at your code, I think you are on a right track. However, after changing the label, the picklist needs a refresh in order to update the value in the front end.
   
   Please find below code,
   tpc.forms[0].fieldName.get_kendoInput().options.dataSource.data[2].Label = 'Hello';
   tpc.forms[0].fieldName.get_kendoInput().dataSource.read(); 
   
   Kindly, try this and let me know if it worked.
   
   Thank you,
   
   Regards,
   Bhargavi Mahal.

   Bhargavi,
   Yeah we have the picklist feature working and with the .refresh() after the changes. My question is on the Yes/No (Boolean) field type where those text values seems to be in BooleanLabels as an Array.

   Hi Eric
   If you insist on changing the values via JS, you could do something like this 
   
   tpc.forms[0].rfr_primaryca.get_kendoInput().setDataSource({
     data: [ { text: "nope", value: "false" }, { text: "yep", value: "true" } ]
   })
   
   But if you know your values ahead of time, it is best to go into the advanced settings of the Yes/No widget configuration and update the BooleanLabels there.
