    Form field controls which are based on a display method cannot be edited.

    Fields which have AllowEditOnCreate property set within the table are also locked for subsequent editing once the record is saved.

    Also form control editing can be switched easily during runtime, either directly through the control (if it has AutoDeclaration set, that is usually a giveaway for form control manipulation), or by setting access to the field within the form datasource.

    To summarize, blocking editing can come from a large range of sources, if you provide a concrete example in Standard AX form (not your customization, since we do not have that), we could tell what is the specific case for that (or investigate it yourself based on the above details).

    Then access is being set likely from code, just read through the form's code to search for clues.

    Search for the field and the control name in the form, or if the form is using a class to manipulate the design, in there as well. See if/where does it call the enabled method.

    if (ACX_BidLine.RecId != 0 && ACX_BidLine.BidStatus == ACX_Status::Open)

       {

           btnActivate.enabled(false);

           Invitaiton.enabled(false);

           ACX_BidLine_ds.allowDelete(true);

           ACX_BidLine_ds.allowEdit(true);

           ACX_BidLine_ds.allowCreate(true);

           TimeEdit.allowEdit(true);

           HeaderTransporterBid_ToTime.allowEdit(true);

       }

       else

       {

           btnActivate.enabled(true);

           Invitaiton.enabled(true);

           ACX_BidLine_ds.allowDelete(false);

           ACX_BidLine_ds.allowEdit(false);

           ACX_BidLine_ds.allowCreate(false);

           TimeEdit.allowEdit(false);

           HeaderTransporterBid_ToTime.allowEdit(false);

       }

    Pasting code without context is not helpful.

    Does this mean you have found the root cause? I see entire datasource being locked for edit there, and also disabling fields individually too, which both could lock field editing.

    Kindly mark helpful answers next to each post to resolve the topic.
