Hi, I would like to disable editing on a form after a specific condition is met. I have already tried this code, but unfortunately without results. Can someone help?

[FormDataSourceEventHandler(formDataSourceStr(PurchReqTable, PurchReqTable), FormDataSourceEventType::Activated)]
public static void PurchReqTable_OnActivated(FormDataSource sender, FormDataSourceEventArgs e)
{
    FormDataSource purchReqTable_ds = sender.formRun().dataSource(formDataSourceStr(PurchReqTable, PurchReqTable));
    FormDataSource purchReqLine_ds = sender.formRun().dataSource(formDataSourceStr(PurchReqTable, PurchReqLine));
    FormDataSource inventDim_ds = sender.formRun().dataSource(formDataSourceStr(PurchReqTable, InventDim));
    FormDataSource businessJustificationHeader_ds = sender.formRun().dataSource(formDataSourceStr(PurchReqTable, BusinessJustificationHeader));
    FormDataSource businessJustificationLine_ds = sender.formRun().dataSource(formDataSourceStr(PurchReqTable, BusinessJustificationLine));
    FormDataSource logisticsPostalAddressLine_ds = sender.formRun().dataSource(formDataSourceStr(PurchReqTable, LogisticsPostalAddressLine));
    FormDataSource purchReqLineKMCollection_ds = sender.formRun().dataSource(formDataSourceStr(PurchReqTable, PurchReqLineKMCollection));
    FormDataSource purchReqExternalSource_ds = sender.formRun().dataSource(formDataSourceStr(PurchReqTable, PurchReqExternalSource));
    FormDataSource purchReqLineTaxExtensionIN_ds = sender.formRun().dataSource(formDataSourceStr(PurchReqTable, PurchReqLineTaxExtensionIN));


    PurchReqTable purchReqTable = purchReqTable_ds.cursor();

    if(purchReqTable.myCondition())
    {
        purchReqTable_ds.allowEdit(false);
        purchReqLine_ds.allowEdit(false);
        inventDim_ds.allowEdit(false);
        businessJustificationHeader_ds.allowEdit(false);
        businessJustificationLine_ds.allowEdit(false);
        logisticsPostalAddressLine_ds.allowEdit(false);
        purchReqLineKMCollection_ds.allowEdit(false);
        purchReqExternalSource_ds.allowEdit(false);
        purchReqLineTaxExtensionIN_ds.allowEdit(false);

    }
}

How to disable editing on all form datasources?

Hi Shooowtek,

As mentioned by others, some standard logic might overwrite your coding. During debugging you should not only focus on your own coding, but also what happens after that.

What is the exact condition when the data sources should be read-only? Depending on the complexity there can be another way to achieve your requirement by developing a security policy to manage CUD actions.

Hi,

Try to use active method through COC, does you condition depend on certain changes on the form itself? Try to add your changes to the init method of the form also.

Thanks,

This activated event gets called from super() of active method. But I feel, the standard is overriding your logic. So I would suggest you to write code post next of active method.

How to disable editing on all form datasources?

Hello,

It seems you're using allowEdit(false) based on certain conditions in your form's data source, likely through an event handler. Instead of relying on event handlers, you can simplify your approach by directly overriding the form methods.

For example, you can set the edit permission like this:

yourdatasource_ds.allowEdit(false);

Or, for a specific field, you can use:

yourdatasource_ds.object(fieldNum(datasourcetable, field)).allowEdit(false);

This approach reduces complexity and keeps your code organized. For further insights, you may find this blog helpful: Enable/AllowEdit of DataSource Field.

If you have any questions or need more information, feel free to ask!

Yes, I debugged the code and my condition is true. I can't find the reason why disabling editing doesn't work.

Hello,

Is your condition actually true? Perhaps the standard code is overriding your change after your code has executed. Have you debugged your code to see what's going on?
