Can display label change on node?

Neo4j Graph Platform Browser
1

All my node has a base label.
ex:
movieNode label: base, movie
personNode label: base, person

When I query the node, all nodes display the base label, and looks all the same because the color.

Is there any way to change it?

I presume your issue is when in Neo4j Browser? if so and also as no Neo4j version was described in initial post have a look at Browser styling - Neo4j Browser

if not Neo4j Browser can you please provide more specifics

Yes, it's Neo4j Browser.

And no, I don't want change color of the label.
I want change display label.

Currently all my node display "base" label, and they all look the same. It's hard to view.
In my example:
I want change movieNode display label to movie instead base.
And personNode label to person instead base.

I just tried something and it worked.

  1. I showed a node with two labels and set a style for each of the labels. This will make an entry in the GraSS style sheet.
  2. execute ':style" to show the GraSS style sheet. You should notice a definition for each of the two labels you set earlier. It looks like the node is shown with the label definition that appears later in the GraSS file.
  3. download the file, edit to move the label definition you want as the default to be after the one you don't want to be used as the default.
  4. In the browser, type ":style" and past the updated GraSS file in the browser after the ":style" command and execute it. It replaced the GraSS file for me.
  5. Render you query to see if it worked.

@abccbaandy

can you not change the Caption ?
The previously referenced doc indicates

Caption — set what should be displayed as the caption for nodes of the selected label.

Thanks, it worked.
Test with Neo4j desktop 1.6.0 Neo4j Browser and Neo4j 5.22.0

But it's looks like a workaround, hope the official add this feature.

It looks like you're having trouble differentiating nodes because they all display the base label. One way to address this is by customizing the node display properties in Neo4j Browser. You can adjust the node color or style based on specific labels or properties to make them more distinct. Check the Neo4j documentation or explore the settings in the visualization options to see how you can highlight different labels effectively.
