Hiding a control on a form

I didn't think I'd run into so much trouble trying to simply hide a control on a form.

I'm using the UI

I'm tasked with hiding a toggle switch on the 'Accounts Receivable Parameters' form

I was going to use a new role, and assign the privilege directly to it

I've been fooling with adding references to my role, adding form names, control names..

I can see the form name, and the control name..

I just don't seem to be hitting on the right combination of steps to tell D365 to: "hide this control, on this form"

any help/direction is greatly appreciated..

I have the same question (0)

You can hide the control with code.

You can use Form events like ‘OnInitialized’

Or you can use CoC with form methods like init,active etc.

Both case using enable but you must use the visible property

Thank you for replying Ergün, but my management of security is being done via the UI

Hi Rich,

If you start with securing via the UI, then you can secure table fields on the permissions node of a privilege.

You haven't shared what exact field to secure, so I don't know if this is bound to a data source field or not. If it is an unbound control or display method, you have to go to Visual Studio to make the object securable.

Hi Andre', the field in question here is:

I do see that when right clicking the control, the form name is 'CustParameters', and the control(Toggle) is: 'Prices_MarkupHeading'

Thanks Martin.. Is it best practise to utilise VS to determine the bound/unbound status of controls in 365?

You don't need Visual Studio for it, just admin permissions in F&O.

Right-click the form control and choose Form information > Form name: CustParameters. Then open the Administration tab in Form information form and look at DataSource and Data field:
