Switch between View and Edit DisplayMode when check box is ticked

Posted on by msuser48 28

I want a text input box to be editable for the user, when the user ticks the "custom" check box:

msuser48_0-1660063770313.png

It correctly shows the above value, 0,00901, when unticked.

 

When ticked, it just says "text" in the box, and the user cannot edit anything:

I tried formatting the text input box as number, which leaves the text box blank, but the user still cannot edit in the box.

 

How to achieve this?
