You can reference all items in your form with their name. Forms understands these names but does it's own referencing with internal ID's. You can find these ID's with the built-ins 'find_item', 'find_alert' etc. Check the docs. If you don't use these ID's you can use the names and Forms looks up the ID's every time it has to.
It seems Forms cannot find the ID of the specified item. I think this is because you specify the name in lowercase. Try using uppercase like rec_id := GET_BLOCK_PROPERTY('BLOCK',CURRENT_RECORD); SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY('BLOCK.ITEM',rec_id, navigable, PROPERTY_FALSE);

and don't use the colon in the character string ':block.item'

Good luck!
