    Hello,

    We currently do not have dedicated Dev support via the Dynamics 365 Business Central forums, but I wanted to provide you some additional resources to assist. If you need assistance with debugging or coding I would recommend discussing this on one of our communities.

    I will open this up to the community in case they have something to add.

    Thanks.

    Yes, you can do an extension to solve that. But the approach depends if it is made none editable on the table or page level.

    What field is it that you want to change?

    Often non editable fields are non editable for a reason so you need to make sure you do not break the system integrity when doing those kind of changes.

    Yes, It is Non Editable on Table Level.

    It is one of the Field Related Indian Taxation in Sales Invoice Header.

    Hi,

    If it is set to none editable on the table level then you can solve fix it with a table extension because the table extension does not allow you to modify the editable property of the field.

    So what you then will have to do i to create an action on the sales header page where you prompt the user for the value they want to set to the non editable field. Then you will have to do the modification of the value in the actions trigger.

    docs.microsoft.com/.../onaction-trigger

    docs.microsoft.com/.../devenv-adding-actions-to-a-page

    docs.microsoft.com/.../devenv-page-ext-object

    But then again make sure you do not break the integrity of your system.
