Option to create or edit labels from the objects
In D365 if we need to create a new label and assign that to Label or Help text of an item, we have to create label in the label file and then paste in the object. There is no way by which via the object properties we can create a new label or edit existing one. There should be an ability to cr...
Improvements of "Find references"
Evaluation of cross-references is very important with such a large code base (for understanding the current solution, for impact analysis and so on). Unfortunately the experience is worse than in previous versions of AX; here are some suggestions:
- Allow filtering and sorting. ...
There are multiple suggestions here. Thank you. Some are already possible (like filtering and sorting). I will keep this idea under review and monitor the comments. We need to improve this part of the Dev Tools.
Export openapi definition from Finance and Operations instance
We'd like to document our custom APIs with OpenAPI compatible documentation tools (such as swashbuckle, spectacle (https://sourcey.com/spectacle) etc.)
Provide the option to set decimal point precision to less then 6 for FinOps decimals and display accordingly in CE
Via virtual entities Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations (FinOps) data could be displayed in grid view in Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (CE). Decimals are always displayed with 6 digits after the separator (e.g. 365.220000). 6 digits are confusing users when decimal amounts are displayed in...
DEV VMs with up-to-date cross references
Please rebuild cross references on the DEV VM before making it available. They currently contain references to modules that aren't included at the box (unit tests) and don't contain xRefs that should be there. For example, I had to rebuild the application to get "Find event handlers" working.
Aspects of this has been incrementally addressed starting in platform update 9. We are also rolling out a more complete version of the XRef DB out of the box in platform update 13.
Allow disabling an index through an Extension
In the past in for example AX2012 we were able to disable indexes on tables where we have a lot of data in, with a lot of indexes which are not used in our implementation. This was especially useful for large tables, on which standard AX created a lot of indexes which are not useful for use (as ...
Make #region available in X++
It would be great to make #region (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/preprocessor-directives/preprocessor-region) also available in ...
I agree on the usefulness of this feature. It is currently not planned because of other priorities, I will keep this idea active and under review.
Support for NuGet packages in X++ projects
NuGet packages are extremely useful for adding and updating dependencies to .NET projects, especially in complicated cases. It would makes sense to be able to add NuGet packages to X++ projects in the same way as to C# projects, for instance.
I can recognize several scenarios:
...
Changes to dev tools that are coming in the Autumn of 2019 will get us closer to the ideas suggested here.
Introduce a standard pattern for DLL/assembly isolation (AppDomains)
Right now, all DLL dependencies (.NET assemblies) in a D365 package get loaded into the same process space as the whole AOS server. This has several drawbacks as it leads us in a DLL hell. If a DLL is included by the AOS or any default package, one must not add another version of the DLL, espe...
Allow ehanced extensions & debug directly on binaries (without XPP files)
Because we deliver deployable packages (Bin) to a customer, there is no 'xpp' and no possibilities to make enhanced extension on that. Of course, we want to give the opportunity to our customers to make extensions on our functionalities. But we want to be sure that our code will not be stole b...
Administrator
The label editor is needed as a separate construct to separate the label definition from the label use. We'll look at ways to speed up the creation of labels in the future.
