Hello

I have a following requirement:

This field needs to be editable always.

As it is now, it is editable only if cust trans is open (like other fields from cust trans datasource as well):

What I tried is:

But this doesn't work.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Hi devgirlX,

Have you used the debugger to find out if your coding is triggered or maybe overwritten with other logic?

If you are testing in your development environment, ensure you did build the complete model, not only the project/solution and perform a full database sync.

Hi,

Your DataSource remains as CustTramns_DS.AllowEdit(false) because of base method (else case after if)

You may want to to make that allowEdit(true) in your custom code.

Look at the else case in the standard form, that is making the datasource non-editable.

You must mention following line, after the call of base method (in your extension)

custTrans_ds.allowEdit(true);

Hi,

Adding this line custTrans_ds.allowEdit(true); will make all fields in custTrans Datasource editable, I think you should make sure to prevent editing on the fields that shouldn't be editable.

Another approach is not trying to make closed transactions editable by users and rather add another way to update this field, such as a button that updates the field from code.

Yes, it is not editable because of the code: custTrans_ds.allowEdit(false)

I was thinking if maybe there is a way of enabling only this one field since I don't want enable all of them , others should not be editable. I know the approach of enabling all of them and then using global method for disabling all of them also and enabling just this one, but the thing is that there is some logic for some fields that should be editable based on some parameters and some fields should not and I didn't want to mess it up somehow.

I was also thinking about that approach of adding button for updating the field but first wanted to check if anyone can help me with enabling this field only.

Thank you all for suggestions

Please be mindful when making such changes, My thought would be if MS is not allowing this editable, there is some good business reason behind that.
