Naming of Renovation statuses

This is a long shot but is there any way to change the renovation status text "To be demolished" to something shorter like "Demolished"?

Finding with schedules and auto-text labels it looks lengthy and a bit out of place.

For example "existing" doesn't say "remain as existing" and "new" doesn't show as "will be new".

Can't help with what you're trying to achieve, but fwiw, if it's "demolished" it wouldn't exist anymore. "To be Demolished" is correct if it's still showing up in the drawings/model. It's not the same as "remain as existing" or "to be new" - which wouldn't be visible either - if it's not new yet, it doesn't exist 😉
Hope that's not too pedantic - I do think that sometime's Archicad's terminology is not quite right, but on this occasion I think it's correct.

Thanks TJ

That does help. Sometimes just being able to justify it in my mind is enough, can then use that same justification when explaining to others.
