Hallo i have question,

Is it possible to disable editing fields in the INVENTDIM table?

I've tried using the eventhandler and also the form extension but the warehouse column can always be edited.

I just want to lock the column so it can't be edited when the itemid(InventJournalTrans.itemid) starts with 'FG'. because it is automatically filled according to the default warehouse that we set for the item.

is there any input?is there any input?
I wrote a line of code like this, and it didn't work

[ExtensionOf(formDataSourceStr(InventJournalBOM,InventJournalTrans))]
internal final class InventJournalTrans_Extension
{

int active()
{
int ret;
ret = next active();

InventJournalTrans InventJournalTrans;
InventJournalTrans = this.cursor();

FormRun formRun;
formRun = this.formRun();
str itemID = subStr(InventJournalTrans.ItemId,1,2);

if(itemID == 'FG')
{
formRun.control(formRun.controlId(formControlStr(InventJournalBOM, InventoryDimensions_InventLocationId))).allowEdit(false);
}
return ret;
}
}

I have the same question (0)

Hi Dodi,

Did you debug and see what is returned in "ItemId" and if it enters the if condition?

Thanks,

Hi Dodi,

Like Layan mentioned, you can use the debugger to check the behavior. Note that the editability of these columns are also managed with coding that checks if a dimension is active for a particular item. It might be the case that the standard coding is overriding the outcome of your extension.

Check enableButtonsActive() method in JournalFormTable. This is actually controlling all the controls in this form.

From your code, if you want to disable a field, you need to write something like this
InventJournalTrans inventJournalTrans_ds = this as InventJournalTrans; InventJournalTrans inventJournalTrans = inventJournalTrans_ds.cursor(); str itemID = subStr(inventJournalTrans.ItemId,1,2); inventJournalTrans_ds.object(fieldNum(InventDim, InventLocationId)).allowEdit(itemID != 'FG');

As Layan suggested, debug it and check if FG is actually shown up in itemId.
