Add Field to Legal Entity

Hello, I want to add the NoYes enum field to the addresses of legal entities, but when I track the file that needs to be edited it seems to connect to many other files. Can you tell me the steps needed to add the field?

    Hi Abu,
     
    Can you describe exactly how you added the field and which tables and views were modified? What field properties are used? You can also post some screenshots how the customization is implemented.

    Hi,
    Is the table you added fields editable or read-only? The ability to enter values in a custom field added to a page is dependent on whether the table associated with the custom field is editable or read only. When the associated table is read only, all fields linked to that table, including any custom fields, will also be read only.
    Best regards,
    Kevin

    Thanks for replied,
     
    If you track the form above it is named OMLegalEntity and the Addresses tab leads to the DirPartyPostalAddressView table view. Let say I want to add a NoYes field called IsActivated, so I added that field to the DirPartyPostalAddressView and DirPartyLocation tables. Then I added this field to the Addresses form, but the result was a non-editable/view only field.

    Hi,
    If you have a corresponding field in your current database, you only need to display it, or you need to add a new custom field to the database, the two settings are different:
    If you have that field in your database, you just need to display it on the page, you can refer to the official documentation: Personalize the user experience - Finance & Operations | Dynamics 365 | Microsoft Learn.
    If you don't have this field in your database, you may have to customize it, see this official documentation: Create and work with custom fields - Finance & Operations | Dynamics 365 | Microsoft Learn.
    Best regards,
    Kevin
