Thanks a lot for the feedback. We're continuously evolving the standard APIs exposed directly on Business Central endpoints. Should you have specific needs for the API contract, an extension can be developed where you're exposing an API fitting your need.
Please refer to the API reference:

Heres a walkthrough creating you own API:

add RecordRef.SetAutoCalcFields(), like new RecordRef.SetLoadFields()

from https://github.com/microsoft/AL/issues/6316 Partial records 'just' landed, and with that we can pass a list of field IDs to `RecordRef.SetLoadFields()` in order to dynamically load fields while also ensuring we don't pull out columns we don't care about. Now would be a great time to add th...

Enable compile/intellisense for apps within same workspace

With a requirement to have automated tests in a separate (dependent) test extension for AppSource extensions, instead of having the test codeunits inside the same extension makes it impossible to do test driven development with Business Central. The current process of first having to download ...

Thank you for your valuable feedback. We are making working with project dependencies available with Business Central 2019 Wave 2. 

With this feature, you can add dependencies to other extension projects in your workspace, and then changes will propagate, e.g., for IntelliSense and compilation errors.

Thank you for your valuable feedback. We have decided to deliver this idea and make it available with Business Central 2020 Wave 2 (fall).

There will be two ways to suppress warnings:
  • Per line(s): New pragma directive to instruct compiler to ignore warnings in marked area. Can surround a continuous section of lines in a file. Use "#pragma warning disable <list of warning IDs>" and remember ending pragma (otherwise rest of file) with #pragma warning restore <ID>. Restore returns it to whatever global suppression state there is.
  • Per app: New app.json property, supports a list of warning IDs, e.g., "suppressWarnings": ["<Warning ID>","<Warning ID2>"]
Remember that most warnings are there for a reason, and suppressing them could lead to sudden impact if warnings are changed to errors (such as obsoletes).
