IncludeInDataSet Property Dynamics NAV

Most of the time when you do the developments you need to set boolean variables to properties on selected controls in a page. Those controls such as  Editable Property, Enabled Property, Visible Property, or StyleExpr. IncludeInDataSet Property Dynamics NAV will allow you to do your customizations without any runtime errors.

Let’s take an example and see. I need to enable true / false when page load or when do validation in a field. Suppose, when I enter Customer Name in Customer Card in Dynamics NAV, I need to enable few selected fields. So you can simply create few boolean variables as globule variables, Then you can assign it to Visible / Enable property in selected control (Page Level). But when you run the page you will get runtime error.
