Page's Editable property- How does it work?

Easier if I just put the step to reproduce here.

1. Create an empty table - the table is to be used as temp table. Say, TableA. The table will have one field name TestField with type Code.

2. Create a card page with TableA as SourceTable. Set Editable to No. Set SourceTableAsTemporary to Yes. Call this PageA.

3. In OnOpenPage, assign a value to the TestField.

4. Create an action. In the action just print out the value of the Code field.

When page is set to be non-editable, the action to print out the TestField will prints out the value.

Set the page to be editable, and the TestField will not have any value.

Can anybody explain why is this behaves so? I was expecting that it'll behave the same way both for editable/non-editable page.

Is this bug, or is NAV doing something behind that I'm not aware of?

    Hello Farid,

    When Page is Not Editable then always its onOpenPage, until you not goto next record, that means values are same, But In Case of Edit mode, first time only value, second time onwards it blanks, because it moved from OnOpenPage trigger.

    See the bellow screenshot you may get idea about page editable property.

    If a form has Editable set to a value of No, then the controls on the form are not editable, even if the (individual) Editable properties are set to Yes. When using CurrPage.Editable, the Editable property also reflects the page mode that the page was opened in. This applies to Edit, Create, and Delete modes, but not to View mode. If the page is editable, then CurrPage.Editable will return false.

    How do you assign the value to Testfield on "OnOpenPage Trigger", as it is Primery Key?
