Editable property with dynamic date expression gives run-time error

[AskeHolst]

Describe the bug When date comparison is used as dynamic expression on a Editable property a run-time error occurs.

To Reproduce Steps and to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a page
2. Add a field with an Editable property based on an expression comparing another date field to 0D
3. Compile and run

page 50100 "Editable Bug Repro"
{
    PageType = List;
    SourceTable = "Sales Line";

    layout
    {
        area(content)
        {
            repeater(General)
            {
                field("Planned Shipment Date"; "Planned Shipment Date")
                {
                    ApplicationArea = All;
                }
                field("Planned Delivery Date"; "Planned Delivery Date")
                {
                    ApplicationArea = All;
                    Editable = "Planned Shipment Date" = 0D; // This will cause a run-time error
                }                                 
            }
        }
    }
}

Expected behavior Simple boolean expressions can be used for the Editable property.

@atoader Why would this not qualify as bug for this repository? Is it due to it generating a runtime error and not a compile time error? Just trying to understand what goes where.

[NKarolak]

@AskeHolst As I understand it, this repo handles issues of the AL Language extension only, hence issues that may happen until the application is built. This does not cover run-time errors of the application that you have created.

@NKarolak Thank you, that makes some sense.
