Nice-to-have: Debug/Run test function in Test Explorer should also build the solution automatically
To be consistent with the user experience in other development languages, it would be much easier if the debug/run test in the Test Explorer would also immediately issue a build command. Right now, if I am writing tests, after every code change I have to press two buttons that both take quite ...
Make the Label Search dialog support the Dark theme of Visual Studio
If you run Visual Studio with the Dark theme, there are numerous texts you can't see in the Labels Search dialog because they are black on an black background. When running in Dark mode, these text should have another color (probably white).

Cloud based demo environments should be renamed during provisioning to avoid TFS workspace problems
When a demo environment is provisioned in LCS it is always named demo-1 (or sometimes demo-0)
However visual studio workspaces work with the computer name, so if we create a second demo environment (aimed at a different prospect for example), TFS integration becomes a problem.
Vi...
Specify the name of the environment in the Advanced settings tab. We are currently not planning changes in this area.
Support XPP generation from XML
Requesting that the functionality you get in the AOT when selecting <>View code (generating .XPP file from source .XML) is made available outside of the Visual Studio add-in, if possible but not necessarily as open-source. Scenario: We're developing an ISV solution. We install the binaries and s...
Code upgrade tool fail with vague error. Customers and partners must raise a support request to get the details
Code upgrade tool fail with vague error. Customers and partners must raise a support request to get the details. Microsoft internal reference : One workitem 2641643
We incremental make changes to the error messages of the code upgrade service. We are currently not planning any major investments in the redesign of the code upgrade service.
Default new label comments to blank
Every time when creating a label it adds auto-generated ´New Comment' in Description column. I always clear that field so it looks clean. It probably only 10% or less labels that I add comments to. As this field is not mandatory I suggest to default label comments to blank.
This idea has been implemented and is part of the upcoming 10.0.5/PU29 release
Trace parser on DEV box
I just had a developer from a customer complaining that the trace parser needed administrator rights. Obviously, in line with Microsoft, I will never give the password to that developer. After deliberation with Microsoft, there were two possible options: 1. Create a new DEV box on which the de...
The developer VMs all share the same environment type/topology, that is why Trace parser exists on all instances. You would need a developer VM with administrator rights (in private Azure subscription) or a local VM (Downloadable VHD) to use trace parser. We do not have plans to allow trace parser for users who are not local administrators on the VM.
File operations
Microsoft took away our ability to create flat files in D365FO Production environment. They have an Azure service called File Storage which gives us back some of that functionality which is so important for porting legacy interfaces that just pass around physical files, Azure blob storage is b...
There are currently no plans to address this functionality in the upcoming releases.
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...
