    Hi Muhammad,

    How exactly have you added that field? Have you added it to the grid or to an existing group or you created a new group?

    Hi Muhammad,

    The journal lines gets in a read only state when the journal is posted. Changing the properties on one control does not give write access as the datasource is set to read only.

    You can alternatively create an edit method which could write to the field with some x++ coding. Another option is to put the field in a new table linked to the journal line. That table will not be blocked when the journal is posted.

    I added custom table datasource join with ledgerjournaltrans  and join type is active

    but when journal is posted then my custom table datasource and all controls disable.

    I tried to enable by code but not working.

    if I allow edit ledgerjournalTrans datasource that time my custom table is editable.

    Hi Muhammad,

    What is parent control for your group? Did you add it to the grid?
