or

app_item_property.set_property ('<block_name>.<list_item_name>', enabled/enterable, property_on);

Difference Between Set_Item_Instance_Property and Set_Item_Property
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY：Block中的所有Records
SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY:对当前Record起作用

If you want to turn fields 'on' and 'off' depending on information in a row then use 'set_item_instance_property(enterable)' in the Post_Query trigger on the block

IF :BLK_DISPLAY.METER_TYPE_ID = 'H' THEN
  SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY('BLK_DISPLAY.MILES',CURRENT_RECORD,VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE,'VA_DISPLAY_ONLY');
  SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY('BLK_DISPLAY.MILES',CURRENT_RECORD,NAVIGABLE,PROPERTY_FALSE);
  SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY('BLK_DISPLAY.MILES',CURRENT_RECORD,UPDATE_ALLOWED,PROPERTY_FALSE);
  SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY('BLK_DISPLAY.HOURS',CURRENT_RECORD,VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE,'VA_UPDATE');
  SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY('BLK_DISPLAY.HOURS',CURRENT_RECORD,NAVIGABLE,PROPERTY_TRUE);
  SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY('BLK_DISPLAY.HOURS',CURRENT_RECORD,UPDATE_ALLOWED,PROPERTY_TRUE);
ELSIF :BLK_DISPLAY.METER_TYPE_ID = 'M' THEN
  SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY('BLK_DISPLAY.MILES',CURRENT_RECORD,VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE,'VA_UPDATE');
  SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY('BLK_DISPLAY.MILES',CURRENT_RECORD,NAVIGABLE,PROPERTY_TRUE);
  SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY('BLK_DISPLAY.MILES',CURRENT_RECORD,UPDATE_ALLOWED,PROPERTY_TRUE);
  SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY('BLK_DISPLAY.HOURS',CURRENT_RECORD,VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE,'VA_DISPLAY_ONLY');
  SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY('BLK_DISPLAY.HOURS',CURRENT_RECORD,NAVIGABLE,PROPERTY_FALSE);
  SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY('BLK_DISPLAY.HOURS',CURRENT_RECORD,UPDATE_ALLOWED,PROPERTY_FALSE);
END IF;
