How to disable editable for all of the fields except two in a form for a selected record only

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Miguel Zuniga 272

I found this, however I think this solution is disabling all the fields no matter what record you're in, it completely disables the fields in the form (correct me if I'm wrong).

Also I don't know how to obtain the datasource "salesAgreementHeader_ds" (I'm working on sales agreement) using main(Args _args).

    I suggest to implement this by security, you can go to security role and click override permission and set your permission for this table

    I am working on SalesAgreement form. I want to make ALL the data sources not editable. Except two.

    Hi Miguel,

    Your initial post suggests that you might have a requirement for disabling fields based on what agreement is selected. Possibly status related. Is this assumption correct? Please elaborate.

    An update to my question..

    I've used this code, I placed it on the init of the form method.

    But it doesn't work. I can still edit the fields in the lines.

        SalesAgreementHeader                salesAgreementHeaderLoc;
    SalesAgreementHeader                salesAgreementHeaderRecord;
    AgreementLine                       agreementLineLoc;
    AgreementLineQuantityCommitment     agreementLineQuantityCommitmentLoc;
    RecId                               salesAgreementRecId;
    DictTable                           agreementLineDictTable, agreementLineQuantityCommitmentDictTable;
    int                                 fieldCnt, fieldNumber;

    salesAgreementHeaderRecord = element.args().record();
    agreementLineDictTable = new DictTable(agreementLineLoc.TableId);
    agreementLineQuantityCommitmentDictTable = new DictTable(agreementLineQuantityCommitmentLoc.TableId);

    if(salesAgreementHeaderRecord)
    {
        select HSIsChangeRequest from salesAgreementHeaderLoc
            where salesAgreementHeaderLoc.RecId == salesAgreementHeaderRecord.RecId;

        if(salesAgreementHeaderLoc.HSIsChangeRequest == NoYes::Yes)
        {
           //datasources in the form
            SalesAgreementHeader_ds.allowEdit(false);
            AgreementHeaderDefault_ds.allowEdit(false);
            SalesAgreementHeaderDefault_ds.allowEdit(false);
            InventDim_ds.allowEdit(false);
            TMSSalesAgreementHeader_ds.allowEdit(false);
            SalesAgreementHeaderExt_RU_ds.allowEdit(false);
            HSSalesContractSections_ds.allowEdit(false);
            //ALine_ds.allowEdit(false); //commented out
            ALine_ds.allowCreate(false);
            AgreementLineDefault_ds.allowEdit(false);
            AgreementLineExt_RU_ds.allowEdit(false);
            //ALine_AgreementLineQuantityCommitment_ds.allowEdit(false); //commented out
            ALine_AgreementLineVolumeCommitment_ds.allowEdit(false);

            //for fields in agreement line quantity commitment table, because I only need two to be enabled
            for(fieldCnt = 1 ; fieldCnt <= agreementLineQuantityCommitmentDictTable.fieldCnt(); fieldCnt++)
            {
                fieldNumber = agreementLineQuantityCommitmentDictTable.fieldCnt2Id(fieldCnt);
                if(ALine_AgreementLineQuantityCommitment_ds.object(fieldNumber)
                   && fieldNumber != fieldNum(AgreementLineQuantityCommitment, CommitedQuantity)
                   && fieldNumber != fieldNum(AgreementLineQuantityCommitment, PricePerUnit))
                {
                    ALine_AgreementLineQuantityCommitment_ds.object(fieldNumber).allowEdit(false);
                }
            }
            
            //for fields in agreement line, because I only need two to be enabled
            for(fieldCnt = 1 ; fieldCnt <= agreementLineDictTable.fieldCnt() ; fieldCnt++)
            {
                fieldNumber = agreementLineDictTable.fieldCnt2Id(fieldCnt);
                if(ALine_ds.object(fieldNumber)
                   && fieldNumber != fieldNum(AgreementLine, DeliveryPeriod)
                   && fieldNumber != fieldNum(AgreementLine, DeliveryYear))
                {
                    ALine_ds.object(fieldNumber).allowEdit(false);
                }
            }
        }
    }

    Hi Miguel,

    Please try to use this coding on the Active() method of the datasource. I haven't reviewed the full coding, but the init() method is only called when opening the form and then has no records loaded yet.

    Thanks André! You were right, I just have to place it in the right method.
