I've created a pageextension which extends /Bank Account Ledger Entries/ and sets Editable to true. I also set Editable to true on the Description field, which is the field I want users to be able to edit. However, this does absolutely nothing - the Edit List button is greyed out and the field does not respond when clicked. Is it not possible to make fields editable like this? The table itself does not seem to have Editable set to false, only the page in the base app.

Hi, because in BC, the tables after posting, such as table 112 "Sales Invoice Header", table 21 "Cust. Ledger Entry" and table 271 "Bank Account Ledger Entry" that you are trying to modify, are not allowed to be modified directly.

If you look at the source code for posting in BC, you should find that there are many additional permissions defined for Codeunit.

For exmaple, codeunit 80 "Sales-Post"

So if you want to modify the posted table, you also need to add the Permissions Property to your objects.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/properties/devenv-permissions-property?wt.mc_id=DX-MVP-5004336

Of course this is not recommended as it will affect data consistency.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.
