Change " Item " name on new item in sharepoint list embedded in modern page
I have a sharepoint list embedded in a modern page
How do I change the wording of "item" when I want to add a new item to the list
vffdd depends on some conditions. If this is a one-off list and you don't want to reuse the structure of the item (Content Type), then you can do the following:
- Go into the List Settings.
- Advanced Settings
- Allow management of Content Types? Yes
- Click Ok
- Go back to the List Settings
- Click on Item under Content Types
- Click on the Name and Description
- Change the Name from Item to whatever you want.
- Click OK
If this is not a one off list/content type then go with creating with a new content type as suggested in the previous post.

Follow these steps:
- Create a new content type in your SharePoint site - Based on Item as a Parent Content Type
- Add newly created content type to the list
- Remove SharePoint default Item content type from the list
Note:
- If you are trying this for newly created SharePoint list (without any columns and live data), it should work for you without any additional steps
- If you already have columns and and live data in the list: Add existing list columns to the new content type after step #2 given above (before deleting default item content type from list)
