Hi all,

I have created a field which is editable initially. I want to change this field to Uneditable when one checkbox is ticked. How can I make a field Uneditable on demand in nav 2017?

Thanks.

Hi Tina,

Did you have a look at PAG30 (Item Card) on how this is done on the Planning FastTab? I fyou change "Reordering Policy" field the edit-ability of various fields are changed.

Hi

Take one Boolean Variable, Place it on the Editable property of the field you want to make editable on demand, now when checkbox is ticked on validate change the Boolean value to false. (on open page set Boolean to true)

Hello Tina,

Follow the bellow procedure.

Declare a boolean variable with Dataset property Yes
For Example IsEdiatable is a boolean Variable

Which field you want to editable and non-editable -> Open property ->
In Editable Property put valus as IsEdiatable .

Now on CheckBox_OnValidate trigger write code for editable and non-editable.
IF CheckBoxVariable THEN
CLEAR(IsEdiatable)
ELSE
IsEdiatable := TRUE;

-----

Note: In OnOpen Page trigger

IsEditable := TRUE;

//So initially its editable

-----------------------------------

Save->Compile->RUN

Thank you.

But when I put the boolean variable 'IsEditable' in the property of the field which i require to change dynamically it does not accept it. It says that it is not valid. I have also set the include in dataset to yes

Hello Tina,

show your checkBox code and what error you got in screenshot, also tell us your checkbox variable datatype.

Why Because if variable declare is issue then you got error something like:

You have specified an unknown variable.

IsEditable

Define the variable under 'Global C/AL symbols'.

But you said, Its not valid option, that's why we need to see.

According to your error, mostly we get if type is Option.

Hi all,

My problem is solved. By mistake, I was trying to do it on this process on table instead of the page. Hence it was not accepting it as a valid option. Now I did it on the page. It is working.

Thanks everyone.
