    Hi,

    Yes you can do it in a simple way. 

    In below I am setting the editable field in Currency Code in Customer Page. You need a global variable EditableCurrCode. and then put it to the OnOpenPage and OnAfterGetRecord Triggers to check simply the Customer Posting Group is Local or not. If it is Local, the Currency Code field cannot be edited.

    Hope you got the method from this easy example.

            modify("Currency Code")
            {
                Editable = EditableCurrCode;
            }
        }

        trigger OnOpenPage()
        begin
            if Rec."Customer Posting Group" = 'Local' then
                EditableCurrCode := false
            else
                EditableCurrCode := true;
        end;

        trigger OnAfterGetRecord()
        begin
            if Rec."Customer Posting Group" = 'Local' then
                EditableCurrCode := false
            else
                EditableCurrCode := true;
        end;

        var
            EditableCurrCode: Boolean;
    Thanks.

    Hi, just adding some info.

    The page mode that the page was opened in (Editable of the page)

    https://yzhums.com/9132/

    Switching a page to non-editable in real time via a field value

    https://yzhums.com/16756/

    Dynamic Visibility of Controls (Hide and show fields dynamically)

    https://yzhums.com/14752/

    Hope these give you some new hints too.

    Thanks.

    ZHU
