Hide field in Worksheet Page

Hi All,

I have created a custom field, Tour Type, which is an enum field in the standard table Gen. Journal Line using a table extension in AL code.

If the batch is selected as EXPENSE, the custom field will be displayed on the Bank Payment Voucher page; otherwise, it will be hidden.

I have written the code in the PageExtension on the OnAfterGetCurrent trigger. The global variable shows True in the debugger, but the field is not hidden at the page level.

Please advice.

It sounds like you’re on the right track, but in worksheet pages the Visible logic can be a bit tricky. Could you share the snippet of your AL code (table extension + page extension part) so we can see exactly how you’ve set the Visible property and where you’re updating it? That will make it easier to spot why the field isn’t hiding.

Hello Sohail,

Thanks for the reply. Below is the code screenshot. I have also tired to hide under group but not working.

A created a custom enum field 'Tour Type' in the 'Gen. Journal Line' table extension in AL code and wants to conditionally hide this field on the 'Bank Payment Voucher' page based on the batch type. Although the global variable controlling visibility shows 'True' in the debugger, the field is not hidden on the page. The user has tried hiding the field within a group without success. Community members suggest sharing the AL code snippets for the table and page extensions to better diagnose the issue, noting that visibility logic on worksheet pages can be tricky.

Hi,

To dynamically show or hide the Tour Type field on the Bank Payment Voucher page based on the batch name, you can try the following:
Key Requirements

Use the Visible property with a global Boolean variable:

field("Tour Type"; Rec."Tour Type")
{
    Visible = ShowTourType;
}

Set the variable in the correct trigger:

Prefer OnAfterGetRecord() for list pages [1].

Use OnAfterGetCurrRecord() for card or document pages [2].

Declare the variable as global in the page extension:

var
    ShowTourType: Boolean;

Update the variable based on the batch name:

trigger OnAfterGetCurrRecord()
begin
    ShowTourType := Rec."Journal Batch Name" = 'EXPENSE';
end;
