Line break does not work in message box in D365FO
We can display line breaks in message box with AX 2012. But it does not work with D365fO(AX7).
Code example: Box::warning(‘A’+’\n’+’B’);
Dynamics AX development team mentions that this is the limitation of D365FO due to security reason.

Ability to compare the changes made in extensions from standard objects
In order to view the changes in the extension of a standard object, we don't have any option to compare the extension with the standard. It will help the developers if there is a functionality that can be used to view the changes made in the extension as compared to standard object.
This is already available on the designer. In the search bar of the metadata designer window, type "e:"
JSON based custom service - company context

It only picks up the users default company.
SOAP is a work around to do it.
No changes in this area are currently planned.
Metadata search
One of the really useful feature of the previous version of Dynamics AX was AOT search. which is now replaced by metadata search. Although the metadata search is quite fast, but the result is overkill. It would be great, if we can add more filter options like search only specific piece&nb...
