Posted on by Inkey Solutions 2,122

Hi everyone,

We have a requirement from the client where he wants to insert a new option field on Sales order page under Shipping and Billing tab titled as "Inform To" . This particular field should act exactly like Ship-to field with options like Default, Alternate Shipping and Custom Address. The fields should show the other sets of fields according to the option selected. For example, if a user selects Custom Address option from the "Inform To" field then10 fields should be visible i.e. Name, Address, Email etc.

We already created a Custom Option set field "Inform To". How can we show and hide the fields from our end using AL code?

Can anybody advise which is the best way to implement show and hide fields for the "Inform To" field in AL code?

Thanks in Advance

    Create a Boolean variable that is globally available on the page. In the OnAfterGetRecord trigger of the page and the OnValidate trigger of the field set a call to a local procedure which calculates the result of the Boolean variable. In the procedure use a case statement to determine the Boolean result.

    case InformTo of

       InformTo::"Option 1":

              VarVisibility: = ReturnVisibility(InformTo);

        InformTo::”Option 2”:

              VarVisibility: = ReturnVisibility(InformTo);
