Difference Between Edit And Display Method

The display indicates that the method’s return value is to be displayed on a form or a report.
The value cannot be altered in the form or report.

Edit indicates that the method’s return type is to be used to provide information for a field that is used in a form. The value in the field can be edited.

Edit Method D365FO

In AX 2009, when reference control was not available, in the table if there is a relation created on the basis of any field i.e. there is a child table and it contains the record Id of the parent Table. When that child table binds to form, (to display and select the user-friendly information from the parent table, lookup controls were used). The record Id of the user-friendly value is saved on the table with the help of the edit methods.

Here is the example to use Edit Method.

edit int ageUpdate(boolean _set, int value)

    {

        SLD_DemoTable _demoTable;

        int  ret;

        // find the car records from the car table with update = true

        _demoTable = SLD_DemoTable::find(this.Name, _set);

        if (_set)

        {

            ttsbegin;

            _demoTable.Age = value;

            _demoTable.update();

            ttscommit;

        }

        else

        {

            ret = _demoTable.Age;

        }

        return ret;

    }
