Hi Experts,

I am working on role-based button enable/disable in the LedgerChartOfAccounts form in D365FO.

Requirement:

If the user is NOT assigned to a specific security role, the + New button should be disabled immediately when opening the LedgerChartOfAccounts form.
Currently, if I click + New, it navigates to the MainAccount form and when I come back, the button becomes disabled.
But I need the button to be disabled as soon as the LedgerChartOfAccounts form opens itself, without first clicking the button.

There is a overridden clicked() method for the button:

void clicked()
{
    Args args;
    FormRun mainAccountForm;

    args = new Args();
    args.name(formStr(MainAccount));
    args.caller(element);
    args.record(ledgerChartOfAccounts);

    args.openMode(OpenMode::New);

    mainAccountForm = classfactory.formRunClass(args);

    if (mainAccountForm)
    {
        mainAccountForm.init();
        mainAccountForm.run();
        mainAccountForm.wait();
        mainAccount_ds.research(true);
    }
}

I tried:

button.enabled(false)
allowCreate(false)
Form Activated event
Datasource Activated event

This is my Code:

[FormEventHandler(formStr(LedgerChartOfAccounts), FormEventType::Activated)]
public static void LedgerChartOfAccounts_OnActivated(xFormRun sender, FormEventArgs e)
{

FormButtonControl buttonNew;
FormDropDialogButtonControl newFromTemplate;

SecurityRole securityRole;
SecurityUserRole securityUserRole;

buttonNew = sender.design().controlName("ButtonNew");
newFromTemplate = sender.design().controlName("NewFromTemplate");

FormDataSource chartOfAccount_ds = sender.dataSource(formDataSourceStr(LedgerChartOfAccounts, LedgerChartOfAccounts));

Select firstonly securityRole
where //securityRole.Name == "Admin" ||
securityRole.Name == "Role to enable new/edit./del button in MA"
join securityUserRole
where securityUserRole.SecurityRole == securityRole.RecId
&& securityUserRole.User == curUserId();

if (securityRole)
{

buttonNew.enabled(true);
newFromTemplate.enabled(true);
}
else
{

buttonNew.enabled(false);
newFromTemplate.enabled(false);
}
}
And i tried this init() also, but this also is not working.

[ExtensionOf(formStr(LedgerChartOfAccounts))]
final class TPZ_ChartOfAccount_Extension
{
public void init()
{
next init();

this.setCreatePermissionBasedOnRole();
}

private void setCreatePermissionBasedOnRole()
{
const str RoleName = 'Role to enable new/edit./del button in MA';

FormRun formRun = this as FormRun;
FormDataSource ledgerJournalTableDS = formRun.dataSource(formDataSourceStr(LedgerChartOfAccounts, LedgerChartOfAccounts));

if (this.userHasSecurityRole(RoleName))
{
ledgerJournalTableDS.allowCreate(true);
}
else
{
ledgerJournalTableDS.allowCreate(false);
}
}

private boolean userHasSecurityRole(str _roleName)
{
SecurityRole securityRole;
SecurityUserRole securityUserRole;

Select firstonly securityRole
where //securityRole.Name == "System administrator" ||
securityRole.Name == _roleName
join securityUserRole
where securityUserRole.SecurityRole == securityRole.RecId
&& securityUserRole.User == curUserId();

return securityRole.RecId != 0;
}

}

But still the button is enabled when the form initially opens. Only after navigating to MainAccount and returning back does the button become disabled.

Has anyone faced this scenario? What is the recommended approach to disable the + New button immediately on form load based on security role?

Thank you.
