Community,
I've seen that the ValuesAllowed Property is Non-Customizable.
Has anyone found an effective workaround to this limitation?
I was hoping to use this to filter a list of ENUM choices based on user selections made elsewhere.
It'd be nice to be able to manipulate this like the VISIBLE Property, for which we can have it match a Boolean elsewhere (I know that ValuesAllowed isn't boolean).
Thanks,
Anthony
I think you can create new Enum and field and map them to the original ones like This:
enum 90000 MyEnum
{ /// create enum with the same values of the original One
Extensible = true;
value(0; MyValue)
{
}
value(1; MyValue1)
{
}
value(2; MyValue2)
{
}
}
tableextension 90000 MyExtension extends Customer
{
fields
{
field(90000; MyField; Enum MyEnum)
{
DataClassification = ToBeClassified;
ValuesAllowed = 1, 2; // add the allowed values here
trigger OnValidate()
var
myInt: Integer;
begin
rec.Validate("original Field", MyField); // validate the original field
end;
}
}
var
myInt: Integer;
}
I don't know if it is a good solution, just trying to help.
Hi, If there are too many values in your Enum, I suggest not to use the Enum type, but consider creating a table to manage them. In this way, more things can be done in permission or code.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

ZHU,
Before posting my question, I did consider your method (saw it in a separate post / answer).
That seems like a good solution for some cases.
However, in my situation, there are too many possible Enum outcomes to make a field for each.
Thanks as always for the thoughtful reply,
Anthony
Hi,
This is property not available to customize, you can customize your solution to achieve the requirement.
Hi, The only solution now is to add repeated Enum fields on the page, then set different ValuesAllowed Properties for them, and then control which value is displayed through the conditions of the Visible property. . . It's a little troublesome. . . .
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
