To whom it may concern,

The idea is to make field validation conditionally possible just like Insert and Modify.

For example:

We can use the following condition in code in order to catch the error upon occurrence.

Codeunit:

If not TestCodeunit.run() then

error(GetlastErrorMessage);

Table:

Insert: procedure Insert(): Boolean

if not Rec.Insert() then

error(GetlastErrorMessage);

Modify: procedure Modify([RunTrigger: Boolean]): Boolean

if not Rec.modify() then

error(GetlastErrorMessage);

The same would be nice to have for Fields:

Field:

If not Customer.validate("VAT Bus. Posting Group") then

error(GetlastErrorMessage);

Currently you see the following:

Cannot implicitly convert type 'None' to 'Boolean'ALAL0122

procedure Validate(Field: Joker, [NewValue: Joker])

Calls the OnValidate trigger for the field that you specify.

I hope you consider this and make it possible as I believe that it wil solve a lot of issues when batch validating fields in a loop.

Like the following code would perform better when we can skip records which can not be validated and proceed with others.

Rec.Findset();

Repeat

if not field.validate(FieldName, NewValue) then

LogError()

else

UpdateRecNewValues();

Until Rec.Next() = 0;

Kind regards,
