    Not in standard functionality. When we originally implemented the dimensions functionality (Navision v. 3.0), it was a distinct requirement that dimensions are part of the posted entity and hence that they could not be modified - just like you cannot change e.g. the posting description.

    I faced this requirement for a customer, too.
    Here some constraints we introduced:
    - Apply dimension modification to the entire document (header and lines)
    - Manage only coherent dimension values: for instance deny of change a dimension if it has two different values on lines

    Every related table needs to have global dimensions updated and, in consequence through dim. management standard codeunit, have dimension set ID field updated too.

    Ask the creator if he has a newer version?

    NAV 2013 introduced the dimension set id which points to a common set of dimensions for that id.
    There is also a table - dimension set tree node.
    You should take a look at the code in DimensionManagement and try and replicate it - in a test system.
    Remember anything you do is unsupported.

    Basically you can copy the code from tables 36/37/38/38 that deals with dimensions. However, I would strongly suggest that you implement some kind of restriction or logging of history, as we are talking about posted entries, and we generally don't like that people are able to alter history. For instance, you could implement a restriction that says that you can only add dimensions, and not change or delete.
