DataForm: Enable and Disable Editor Dynamically
Expose an IsEnabled property for editors that can be toggled after DataForm is rendered.

Currently, only Data Annotations can determine whether or not a property's editor is read-only. If a specific editor's read only state needs to be changed dynamically (e.g. due to a selection in another editor), you would need to completely reload the DataForm.

Please include this item in the next update; this seems like a very common use case and would be extremely helpful to have.

Hello Sadanan,

I am sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction from the DataForm control.

This feature is not planned for the upcoming R3 2019 release. I can assure you that when working on the next release planning we will reevaluate DataForm's feature requests. I have raised the priority of this item based on your feedback.

Why is this feature not being considered still. Even a common scenario like updating Picker based on editor or hide/show editor based on condition needs Dataform to be reloaded which is not at all ideal.

We always need to think twice whether to use Dataform or not for such scenarios. whats the use of having telerik controls if we create data forms on our own.

Hi Pravin,

Currently this feature is not in our immediate plans for the upcoming R2 2019 release. Still, we're are keeping an eye on the item and we'll update it once we schedule the feature for implementation.

Hi Pravin,

I am afraid currently data annotations cannot be overridden at runtme - once the Source of the DataForm is set, data annotations are applied.  That's actually this feature request about - to allow to update the enabled state of the editors ( which currently is implemented through ReadOnlyAttribute) dynamically.

Regards,
Yana

can we override these attribute DisplayOptionsAttribute, ReadOnlyAttribute, IgnoreAttribute & ValidationAttribute to dynamically set the data annotation for the property?

in addition - Visible and not visible would be useful  - ie dynamically showing a 'comments' text editor based on the selection in another editor.
