Symptom

When an MDF's label is changed, the default label is not getting updated automatically.

Resolution

This is an expected behavior. In current MDF build, the Default Value gets the value when the object is created from Manage Data for the first time. Next time onwards, whenever the label is changed, it does not sync to Default Value. The reason is that the logged in user may login the system with any language option and change the label as per that language. If the Default Value should be changed, then it must be done manually just like it's done for any other translation.
