Restrict entry of particular financial dimension on dialog form

Posted on by CU29041349-0 283
We have a custom dialog form with a control attached to HcmEmployment.DefaultDimension. There are four levels in the financial dimension - the last one being Project. I want the user to enter in the first three as required but I do not want them to enter a value for Project. Can that be achieved through code?

    Hi Martin,
    I guess I don't understand how the controller classes manage the individual dimensions. This is what I've glean from HcmDimensionEntryController.
     
    Create MyDimensionEntryController extending LedgerDefaultDimensionEntryController
    Override construct() on MyDimensionEntryController
    Override initialize() on MyDimensionEntryController and copy code from HcmDimensionEntryController. Find my 'Project' DimensionAttribute, removed it from DimensionAttributeSetStorage.
     
    There are other parts of HcmDimensionEntryController which I'm not sure is required such as checking isUserSelectedDimensionsEnabled. 
     
    Thank you.

    Notice that the Dimension Entry control has a property called Controller Class. You can implement your own class (inheriting from LedgerDefaultDimensionEntryController) and put such logic there. Look at existing controllers to how to do it, e.g. how parmDimensionsToAllowEdit() is used in HcmDimensionEntryController class.
