The word "In Stock" was added inside catalog.xml:

<block type="catalog/product_view" name="product.info.addtocart" as="addtocart" template="catalog/product/view/addtocart.phtml">
    <action method="setData">
        <name>instock_text</name>
        <value>In Stock</value>
    </action>
</block>

I want to rename it via Custom Layout Update XML so it would appear a different text for some products.

<reference name="product.info">
    <block type="catalog/product_view">
        <action method="setData">
            <name>in_stock_text</name>
            <value>This product is in stock.</value>
        </action>
    </block>
</reference>

The custom layout xml seems not working. Did I miss something on update xml?

You remove block <block type="catalog/product_view"> from custom layout. As per magento system any function value set and child blocks assign of a block class can be managed using <reference> tag

<reference name="product.info.addtocart">
    <action method="setData">
        <name>in_stock_text</name>
        <value>This product is in stock.</value>
    </action>
</reference>

  • Thanks @amit-bera :) However, it seems not to be working as well. I'm suspecting my theme doesn't allow to get new variable values from other areas. My temporary workaround for this one is to provide a condition if the variable is set or not. Something like this: <?php echo $this->getInStockText() ? $this->getInStockText() : "In Stock"; ?>

At a glance it looks like your reference name is wrong: change product.info to product.info.addtocart
