    Hi Rahul,

    Take a look at link below.

    docs.microsoft.com/.../modify-properties

    If you can't modify the property after extension, you won't be able to change it as MS have disabled the property edits.

    Hi Rahul.p,

    You can't modify “Title Field1”,“Title Field2” and “Primarty Index” propertity  by extend table.

    By using XML file. we did below change.

    <PropertyModifications>

    <AxPropertyModification>

           <Name>Visible</Name>

           <Value>No</Value>

         </AxPropertyModification>

      <AxPropertyModification>

           <Name>CreatedBy</Name>

           <Value>Yes</Value>

         </AxPropertyModification>

     </PropertyModifications>

    After build table Visible property has not changed but CreatedBy property has changed.

    Thanks & Regards

    Rahul

    Hi Rahul,

    What are your modified needs? Best not to choose to modify XML.

    “createby” can be modified directly by extension.

    Hi Rahul,

    Please take a look at link below that discussed same issue few days back. As mentioned above, don't do via XML or it may create issues for you in future.

    You can't do it as already mentioned. You can only change things that Microsoft allows you to change. Changing the primary index is not allowed, it would break the standard application since all standard code trusts the uniqueness which is determined by the standard primary index.

    You can change properties which are available for editing in Visual Studio.

    You might need to design another solution to your business requirement.

    Hi Rahul,

    Some properties just cannot be modified.

    You can also apply for extensions from Microsoft, but may be rejected.

    Actually, yesterday one person asked me if we want to change table property after extension then how we can change?

    I replied we can change only those property which MS allow.

    But he spoke if we get requirement to change those property which MS not allow then how we can change?

    Is there any way? he told me like that.

    Please tell me if there any way.

    No, there's no way to make changes that are not allowed by Microsoft, like we already mentioned!
