Unable to Enable Custom Field on Branches (CS102000) Screen

Hello ​@Nilkanth Dipak,

Set AllowUpdate to true for the the view like below, this should enable the custom field along with other fields as well. You can disable the other field here if you like to keep them read-only

    public class BranchMaint_Extension : PXGraphExtension<PX.Objects.CS.BranchMaint>
    {
        #region Event Handlers
        protected void Location_RowSelected(PXCache cache, PXRowSelectedEventArgs e)
        {
            var row = (PX.Objects.CR.Standalone.Location)e.Row;
            if (row == null) return;
            // Enable custom fields
            var defLocationExt = Base.GetExtension<BranchMaint.DefLocationExt>();
            defLocationExt.DefLocation.AllowUpdate = true;            PXUIFieldAttribute.SetEnabled<PX.Objects.CR.Standalone.LocationExt.usrCustomField>(cache, row, true);
        }
        #endregion
    }

Note: The view DefLocation is the extension so we need to use GetExtension to access the view

Hope that helps.! Good Luck,

This is the root problem:

In order to keep existing functionality, you may want to do something like this:

protected virtual void _(Events.RowSelected<BranchBAccount> e, PXRowSelected b)
{
    b?.Invoke(e.Cache, e.Args);

    BranchBAccount row = e.Row;
    if (row is null) return;

    var locationExt = Base.GetExtension<DefLocationExt>();
    bool canEditBranch = locationExt.DefLocation.AllowUpdate;

    if (!canEditBranch)
    {
        // Enable the entire view
        locationExt.DefLocation.AllowUpdate = true;

        // Disable all fields in the view
        PXUIFieldAttribute.SetEnabled(locationExt.DefLocation.Cache, locationExt.DefLocation.Current, false);

        // Enable the fields you want
        PXUIFieldAttribute.SetEnabled<LocationStand.usrCustomField>(e.Cache, row, true);
    }
}

    public class BranchMaint_Extension : PXGraphExtension<PX.Objects.CS.BranchMaint>
    {
        #region Event Handlers
        protected void Location_RowSelected(PXCache cache, PXRowSelectedEventArgs e)
        {
            var row = (PX.Objects.CR.Standalone.Location)e.Row;
            if (row == null) return;
            // Enable custom fields
            var defLocationExt = Base.GetExtension<BranchMaint.DefLocationExt>();
            defLocationExt.DefLocation.AllowUpdate = true;            PXUIFieldAttribute.SetEnabled<PX.Objects.CR.Standalone.LocationExt.usrCustomField>(cache, row, true);
        }
        #endregion
    }

Hi ​@Vignesh Ponnusamy, ​@darylbowman 

I truly appreciate your insights on this.

I tried both approaches:

1. As ​@Vignesh Ponnusamy ​​​​ suggested:

   • I implemented the code, and it works fine for one custom field.
   • However, when I change the value of a custom field, both custom fields become greyed out.
   • When I click Save, only the first field is saved.
   • To edit the second field, I need to refresh the page, after which both fields are enabled and editable.

2. As ​@darylbowman  suggested:

   • I tried the same code snippet, but unfortunately, none of my custom fields were enabled.

Thanks again for your support!

My bad. I had the wrong cache. Change to:

PXUIFieldAttribute.SetEnabled<LocationStand.usrCustomField>(locationExt.DefLocation.Cache, row, true);

However, I wouldn’t expect it to behave much differently than ​@Vignesh Ponnusamy’s code, except for keeping the existing functionality. I’m not sure why only one field would be being enabled.

Hi ​@darylbowman,
After changing the cache, getting issue as below.
 

Sorry, wrong row as well 😂

PXUIFieldAttribute.SetEnabled<LocationStand.usrCustomField>(locationExt.DefLocation.Cache, locationExt.DefLocation.Current, true);

Hi ​@darylbowman,
Unfortunately , still the same issue.
 

Code is below :
 

 protected virtual void _(Events.RowSelected<BranchBAccount> e, PXRowSelected b)
        {
            b?.Invoke(e.Cache, e.Args);

            BranchBAccount row = e.Row;
            if (row is null) return;

            var locationExt = Base.GetExtension<DefLocationExt>();
            bool canEditBranch = locationExt.DefLocation.AllowUpdate;

            if (!canEditBranch)
            {
                // Enable the entire view
                locationExt.DefLocation.AllowUpdate = true;

                // Disable all fields in the view
                PXUIFieldAttribute.SetEnabled(locationExt.DefLocation.Cache, locationExt.DefLocation.Current, false);

                // Enable the fields you want
                PXUIFieldAttribute.SetEnabled<LocationStand.usrPricing1>(locationExt.DefLocation.Cache, locationExt.DefLocation.Current, true);
                PXUIFieldAttribute.SetEnabled<LocationStand.usrPricing2>(locationExt.DefLocation.Cache, locationExt.DefLocation.Current, true);
            }
        }

​@Vignesh Ponnusamy, Do you have any suggestions on why it works for updating only one custom field, while at the same moment, both fields become greyed out until the page is refreshed?

There is a PXGraphExtension inside BranchMaint that seems to be disabling the edit for the DefLocation data which looks like what you have extended. I would try to extend that and enable the custom fields after the base event work.

And it also looks like this will be an issue only for Branches that actually are Organizations without Branches, so technically you also need to add your fields to Companies page and have some sort of defaulting I guess.

Hi ​@Nilkanth Dipak 

With following code, both the custom fields are enabled for me but upon saving both the fields changes to being read-only.

        protected void Location_RowSelected(PXCache cache, PXRowSelectedEventArgs e)
        {
            var row = (PX.Objects.CR.Standalone.Location)e.Row;
            if (row == null) return;
            // Enable custom fields
            var defLocationExt = Base.GetExtension<BranchMaint.DefLocationExt>();
            bool canEditBranch = defLocationExt.DefLocation.AllowUpdate;

            if (!canEditBranch)
            {
                // Enable the entire view
                defLocationExt.DefLocation.AllowUpdate = true;

                // Disable all fields in the view
                PXUIFieldAttribute.SetEnabled(defLocationExt.DefLocation.Cache, defLocationExt.DefLocation.Current, false);

                defLocationExt.DefLocation.AllowUpdate = true;
                PXUIFieldAttribute.SetEnabled<PX.Objects.CR.Standalone.LocationExt.usrCustomField>(cache, row, true);
                PXUIFieldAttribute.SetEnabled<PX.Objects.CR.Standalone.LocationExt.usrCustomFieldTwo>(cache, row, true);
            }
        }

As per ​@Samvel Petrosov, I tried extending the DefLocationExt but so far no luck. I will let you know if I find way to get this working. Good Luck.!

Hi ​@Vignesh Ponnusamy ,

Thank you for your effort and time on this.

I was also able to make both custom fields editable using the code you previously provided. However, the issue is that I cannot edit them simultaneously.

If I change the value of one field and press Tab or Save, both fields become greyed out.

Thanks again for your assistance!

Hi ​@Samvel Petrosov,

Thank you for the suggested approach. However, could you please tell me what Base1 refers to? I am unable to find any declaration for Base1.
 

Base1 refers to BranchMaint.DefLocationExt. It is defined in the public class BranchMaintDefLocationExt_Extension : PXGraphExtension<BranchMaint.DefLocationExt, BranchMaint>

Hi ​@Samvel Petrosov,

Apologies, I missed the graph declaration and only tried the RowSelected event.

Thank you for pointing it out. It worked perfectly—I truly appreciate your help on this!

Thank you ​@darylbowman ​@Vignesh Ponnusamy as well.
