You are right it works but it makes page non-editable permanently. we can't change it back to editable.

Then you can provide a button and on that button's OnAction trigger please do

currpage.editable := true;

currpage.update;

Customer requrements was to use standard edit action (picture attached above). they dont want custom action.

hi

I believe that the customer always accesses the various Cards from a List: e.g. Customer List - > Customer CArd

and in the list you have the option to view the card in view or Modify mode.

if you try to launch the page directly in the browser, e.g. by pasting the link:
businesscentral.dynamics.com/.../YOUENVIROMENT

you will see that the page is not editable:

the only alternative is to apply customisation as advised above

check my answer if it helped you, thanks

You can not fulfill this request without doing customization.

This is a typical request from a new BC customer. And in my experience they will stop asking for this once they get used to the system.

Hi,

This is in built feature. For this you should go for customization solution.

Hi, you can just use new Permission Exclusion (Exclude in Permission Set) feature.

Or The page mode that the page was opened in (Editable of the page)

Hope this helps as well.

Thanks.
