    Hi @Mohamed,
     
    One issue is that i need to auto refresh the page, so  the total amount gets updated.
    i created a display method on the table, then attached this method on the field total amount on the form level under data method.
    calculation is correct but the total amount is not getting updated if i do not refresh the page.
    why?

    Hi @D365FO ERP Developer,
     
    You must use a Display Method to calculate the total amount based on unit price.
     
    e.g.
    public display Name TotalAmount()
{
    Table   table;
    select sum(UnitPrice) from table where ...
    return table.UnitPrice;
}
     
    Best regards,
    Mohamed

    hi Layan,
     
    thanks for your reply.
    the total amount field is of type Real.
    also theres no init method to override neither on the table nor form level.
    theres the init value method.

    Hi D365FO developer,
     
    What is the type of total amount, is it display method or field?
     
    If it's a normal field:
    When you first open the form, you would like to see the sum of unit price, so you need to override the init method and calculate the sum for unit price lines
     
    You also would like the total amount to be amended whenever someone changes the unit price, so you need to override the modified method of unit price to recalculate the total amount
     
    Thanks,
    Layan Jweihan
