Posted on by Webz

Using OData V4 and Dynamics NAV 2018 web service on table where the StartDateTimeOffset is a read-only field. I create a new entity for the specified table and fill in the editable fields but not setting value for the read-only field. I then add the new entity to the collection and try and savechanges(), only to get the error:

DataServiceClientException: {"error":{"code":"BadRequest_InvalidOperation","message":"Control 'Start DateTime' is read-only."}}

I have had this problem in other web service pages with read-only fields. How to create a new web service entity and add to the collection if there are read-only fields?

RE: OData Web Services read-only fields

Thank you for a suggestion, however we do not have developer license and are looking for a work around that avoids getting a developer involved. I have worked at modifying other ERP in the past such as Infor, but in other cases didn't have to pay someone so we can make internal modifications.

Perhaps creating a copy of the table and page but without any code or restricting properties. OnAfterInsert you could use the TRANSFERFIELDS function into the actual table you want to have the data in. If the field IDs between tables match exactly it will just move the data. Might skip out the issue
