Custom BP extensions and the build process
Custom BP extensions should be installed in <drive>AosService\PackagesLocalDirectory\Bin\BPExtensions to be picked up. Currently during build, you have to write a custom script to copy them from the workspace to the correct location. This could be improved possibly
Add events for set_based operations. Preventing row-by-row impact.
Because extensions and events are being used more-and more, a lot of tables will have events configured for onUpdated, onUpdateing, onDeleted, onDeleted, etcetera. As a result all set_based operations (like update_recordset) are being executed as row-by-row operations. This is frequently causi...
Make Visual Studio Synchronization work consistently
When working with Data entities in Visual Studio, I found that using the Dynamics 365 menu to synchronize the entire database did not synchronize the data entities correctly. New fields I was adding were not being created.

Open-source developer tools for Visual Studio
It would be great if the developer tools extension for Visual Studio would go open source someday in the future. Developers could add own needed functionality or help squashing bugs.
Role Control for personalization
We can manage personalization functions ( like enabling or disabling of moving columns, visible or not of columns, etc) per user and copy options to another one by one. But my customer wants either to manage it by roles whether user can use personalization or not, or to manage personalization eac...
Compress trace files
If you take traces (via Settings > Trace) the resulting .etl files are rather huge (limited to 1GB by default). We found that they are very compressible if you simply zip them to an archive and usually do that before handing them over. I think it would be good to compress them right after creatio...
Allow extension for FormDataSource
