Generically relabel fixed-effect in coefplot - stata

Question

I have ran a regression of type
reg foo I.year
and would like to plot the yearly effects. The regression result table looks like this:
foo | Coef. Std. Err. t P>|t| [95% Conf. Interval]
-------------+----------------------------------------------------------------
year |
2001 | .1253994 .0047826 26.22 0.000 .1160255 .1347734
2002 | .06168 .0045566 13.54 0.000 .052749 .0706109
2003 | .1324228 .005008 26.44 0.000 .122607 .1422385
2004 | .1177605 .0051766 22.75 0.000 .1076143 .1279066
2005 | .1007163 .005018 20.07 0.000 .090881 .1105516
2006 | .0792936 .0047979 16.53 0.000 .0698897 .0886974
Unfortunately, when I use coefplot, vert, it says on the x-axis Survey year=2001, Survey year=2002 and so on which consumes a lot of space. I understand that coeflabels allows me to relabel coefficients, but do I have to do that for every single one of these? What if I had 30 years - is there a more generic version of relabeling it?

Answer 1

Sounds like a weird solution but it did work for me.
Simply add any value label to your survey year variable and it should recognize the years as their values.
In case adding any value label does not work, you can create a loop to set a value label for each year as its own year.
levelsof year, local(years)
foreach lvl of local years {
lab def year `lvl' "`lvl'", modify
}
lab val year year
