RE: Edit a field based on a checkbox,

Hello,

I have some smaples using Enabled property, on page fields Enabled attribute you must assign EditCustomField variable, something like this:

field("Warning 1"; Rec."Warning 1")

{

Enabled = EditCustomField;

ApplicationArea = All;

}

Using Enabled must works too, I have created this sample page and it works:

page 60000 TestPage

{

PageType = Card;

ApplicationArea = All;

UsageCategory = Administration;

SourceTable = Integer;

SourceTableTemporary = true;

SourceTableView = where(Number = Const(1));

Editable = true;

layout

{

area(Content)

{

group(GroupName)

{

field(SearchString1; SearchString1)

{

ApplicationArea = All;

Editable = CanEdit2;

}

field(SearchString2; SearchString2)

{

ApplicationArea = All;

Editable = CanEdit2;

}

field(ItemEntry; ItemEntry)

{

ApplicationArea = All;

Editable = CanEdit2;

}

field(CanEdit; CanEdit)

{

ApplicationArea = All;

trigger OnValidate()

begin

CanEdit2 := CanEdit;

end;

}

}

}

}

var

SearchString1: Text;

SearchString2: Text;

CanEdit: Boolean;

CanEdit2: Boolean;

trigger OnOpenPage()

begin

CanEdit := true;

CanEdit2 := true;

end;

}

Is not necessary to have two boolean variables, with one only CanEdit you can avoid OnValidate code.

RE: Edit a field based on a checkbox,

can you paste all your code?

Did you assign the variable to the editable property of the custom field?

Is there any reason why you want to do it as editable only?

You can also simply write code under custom field onvalidate to check the boolean field

TESTFIELD(boolean,true);
