I have a datablock which is update disabled I want three fields(2text items,1 checkbox)
in the datablock to be updatable when a user clicks on them
I used when_mouse_click trigger and write the command
set_item_instance_property('blockname.itemname',current_record,update_allowed,property_true)
but it didn't work ( field is protected against update)
is the problem in the trigger I used?
or because the block is update disabled?
please assist

You know form builder help tells you everything you need to know about properties.
If you bring up the help topic on block level update_allowed it'll tell you how it interacts with item level update_allowed.

Why wouldn't you make it simpler?

Select all items and open their Property Palette window (it will contain multiple selection). Navigate to "Update allowed" property and set it to "No". Then select only these 3 items and set their "Update allowed" property to "Yes".

What significant difference does it make whether these 3 items are always updateable, or only when someone clicks in there? What if users prefer keyboard navigation?
