Hi,

I can create a new item using Item Template. My question is can i modify an item using Item Template?

I didnt find any option available on Item Details form. Is it possible using X++ (coding)?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

    Yes, it's possible with coding (everything is possible with coding :P ):

    // APPLY TEMPLATE
    RecRef.GETTABLE(Item);
    TemplateMgt.UpdateRecord(DataTemplateHdr,RecRef);


    Item = Record datatype, filtered to your record
    TemplateMgt = Codeunit Template Management
    RecRef = RecordRef datatype

    Be sure you retrieve your record again after this so your ITEM record has the changes. Otherwise, any other mods that follow could wipe out what you did with your template update as your version of the ITEM record will overwrite the one modified through the codeunit.

    Template to modify may not available as it need to perform several validations.
    I believe, it is not really a good to have a template for modification.
    Creation happens once for a record - modification can happen number of times - when to trigger the template and every time checking the validations may not appropriate...
