Hi Guys,
In the standard form data source consist of field ,in which field has the properties called as("Visible" - No) ,how to enable this through code in d365 ,and i can't able to change the property manually.
please help me to solve this requirement.
You can change data source field property oninitialized event if you are looking to change the property while opening the form
Hi Jenifer,
Usually fields set as Visible::No have their visibility handled by code.
So, if you search the form for the field name you will probably find some logic to turn its visibility on/off.
I would advise you to understand what business rule drives the field visibility prior to writing any code, most cases like this end up being configuration related.
Anyway, if after understanding the visibility rules behind the field you still need to change its visibility by code you will need an event handler (or CoC), since you are talking about an out of the box form.
Here is an example:

[FormEventHandler(formStr(CustTable), FormEventType::PostRun)]
public static void CustTable_OnPostRun(xFormRun sender, FormEventArgs e)
{
sender.dataSource(formDataSourceStr(CustTable, CustTable))
.object(fieldNum(CustTable, AccountNum))
.visible(true);
}
In this example I used the OnPostRun event of the CustTable form to change the visibility of the CustAccount field.
Hi Jenifer,
You can actually create a display method to show the contents of the field. What is it exactly what you want to achieve? There is usually a design reason why fields are set to be not visible.
Hi,
it depends on your requirement but you can call the following on your DS methods, for example to disable editing on a DS field:
formDataSource.object(fieldnum(Table, Field)).allowEdit(false);
You can call several methods to access properties (like enabled or visible).
But as I said this depends on your requirements. And if you're doing this on a custom form, an event handler, an extension, etc...
