Hello Experts,

I am facing a challenge, i added two fields on the form via personalize, InventItemBarcode is the form and Description and ProductDescription(customized field), but am no able to edit the value on the form for ProductDescription, I did check allowedit property for the Productdescription field on the datasource, and table(InventItemBarcode) as well, it is set to 'Yes'. But I am not able to edit the value for this field. Is there anything else I need to change? Thanks in advance.

Hi Naga

There should be no reason for this field to be non-editable, one is able to edit it on the General tab of the same form. Can you double check that you have no customisations on the form, alternately try reset your form personalisations and try it again.

Make sure that your custom Product description field is not a display method, since values in those are read-only. Only table+field bound control values could be edited, if in the originating table they have AllowEdit = yes defined.

Hello Jonathan,

Thanks for your reply

I have AllowEdit and AlloEditOnCreate property set to yes on the table and on the form datasource also. But it still does not give me option to edit.

Are other fields editable on your form?

If the parent datasource is not editable for which you have added the field via personalization, then the child datasources will not be editable too. Also make sure that you are in the Edit mode on the form, which you could verify in the bottom left corner of the form's status bar with a yellow icon.

Hello Vilmos,

Other system fields are editable like description (which i added via personalization) and the parent datasource is also editable.

I tried setting AllowAdd property to 'yes' for the ProductDescription field on the form datasource, now it's editable. What I don't understand is the system field 'description' has AllowAdd property set to 'restricted' is editable on the form added via personalization but ProductDescription which is a customized field and added via personalization also had AllowAdd property on the datasource to 'restricted' is not editable. By changing the AllowAdd to yes it became editable. Any ideas on this?

Thanks in Advance
