disable rows in table based on value in a table column

[DAVIDPOWELL]

Is there a way to disable rows in a table "tbl_Tasks"  , If one row has a value of "Open"

So only disable the row that is "Open", or disable the whole thing if a single row is "Open"?

For rows-based disabling, you'd need to set the controls in the gallery to dynamically disabled based on the row's value.

Here's an example using the CDS OOB Account entity, and status field, for the DisplayMode of the controls within a gallery.

If(
    ThisItem.Status = 'Status (Accounts)'.Active,
    DisplayMode.Edit,
    DisplayMode.Disabled
)

@GarethPrisk   I do not have a gallery, its a table on the screen.

So only disable the row that is "Open", or disable the whole thing if a single row is "Open"?

if ONE single row has  "Open"  disable any others rows that have  "In Progress"

if all say "In Progress" do not disable any rows.

But Again I'm using a table not a gallery.

Oops! Sorry, misinterpreted your post. I assumed that was a 'table' in the form a Gallery with a header.

Data Tables are notoriously simple; I am not aware of any way to have individual rows have a different behavior.

That being said, since you appear to be using other controls based on the Data Table's selection, you could dynamically set those external control's DisplayMode based on the Data Table's value.

As long as the Data Table and DisplayMode criterias are identical, should work. Not a fool-proof solution, but can mirror the inclusion of a row with value X, and the displaymode of a control. This also assumes that "Disable a Row" means you are precluding the user from editing the row, if selected.
