Online calculation in decimal fields (amounts/quantities)
In previous versions of Dynamics AX (AX 2012 and before) it was possible to enter a calculation in decimal fields. e.g. 1000*1.21. The result was an amount : 1210. In the current version of Dynamics 365 this is not possible anymore. This is a much requested feature by namely accounting users. ...
Infolog messages must support links opening related menu items (SysInfoAction)
SysInfoAction support was not in the list of deprecated features, but it currently isn't available. API is still in place. Where Infolog invocation is supplied with corresponding action it has no effect in the user interface.
Without this feature, where certain document is cr...
In 10.0.11/Platform update 35, a new API (Message::AddAction) has been introduced to allow actions to be embedded in message bars. These actions can point to either a display or action menu item. This API is meant to serve as the replacement for SysInfoAction.

STATUS DETAILSCompleted
A new grid control for Finance and Operations apps is available for public preview starting in 10.0.9 / Platform update 33. This includes the replacement grid control featuring faster rendering, smoother scrolling, and improved handling of larger datasets. Additional capabilities like totals, grouping, fast data entry are also available. The ability to freeze columns is also being targeted.
Note that not all the capabilities described in this suggestion are currently planned (grid in a grid and multi-line column headers). These should be logged individually as other suggestions.
Ability to make a field mandatory by personalizing form
Add a new feature to the personalize form functionality to allow users to make fields mandatory where they are not. This would allow users to streamline processes and avoid customization.
The ability to mark a control as mandatory via personalization was completed over two versions of the product. The option to mark a field as mandatory via personalization by right-clicking on a control and then selecting Personalize was completed in 10.0.11 (Platform update 35). A new "Required" mode in the personalization toolbar to also mark fields as mandatory was added in 10.0.12 (Platform update 36).
Ability to edit picklist options for custom fiels
When creating a custom dropdown field, the pick list you build out cannot be edited in the future. There may be times when some of the dropdown options are no longer needed or have to be edited. This is especially complicated when there are numerous options to choose from. Create a custom drop...
We’re pleased to announce the completion of this functionality. For more information, see Create and work with custom fields - Finance & Operations | Dynamics 365 | Microsoft Learn. This posting is provided “as is” with no warranties, and confers no rights.
Support for "Not Exists joins" in Advanced filter/Sort
It would be highly appriciated to have the possiblity to allow for "not- Exists-Joins" in the Advanced filter/Sort. This would allow us to filter for products without inventory transactions. Vendors with no purchase orders or sales orders with no salesorder lines. I did a blog post about this ...
Grids - Improvements to functionality and performance
A new grid control for Finance and Operations apps is available for public preview starting in 10.0.9 / Platform update 33. This includes the replacement grid control featuring faster rendering, smoother scrolling (due to more aggressive pre-loading of data), and improved handling of larger datasets. There are no plans to adjust the infinite scrolling behavior of grids in Finance and Operations apps (this is required since the size of the full dataset is often unknown); however, the new grid does provide positional scrolling within the data that has been loaded on the client.
Additional capabilities that are included with the new grid include totals, grouping, and fast data entry. Fast data entry includes the ability to paste a table (rows and columns) from Excel starting in a single cell of the grid. The ability to freeze (pin) columns is also being targeted with the new grid. Programmatic formatting of cells can be achieved using the displayOption() API. If there are extra capabilities in this space, please log a separate suggestion in the Ideas portal describing those.
Note that not all the capabilities described in this suggestion are currently planned (see the list below). These should be logged individually as other suggestions for tracking.
Items from this suggestion that are not currently planned:
- Developer APIs to control page size and number of pages to load ahead of time
- Wrapped headers
- Ability to show generic hierarchical data in a grid
- Excel-like fill-down capabilities
Publish personalization as an admin to a group of users or all users
The personalization options in the application are very strong, limiting the need for customizations while enabling users to simplify their user interface.
A simpler user interface improves the usability and acceptance of the system. It would be great that an administrator (/ consultant...
This was addressed in Platform Update 5.
Publish user modified workspaces to security roles through Personalization/Publish

Allow addition of Helptext to Images and Reference Controls
Helptext that you assign to fields is an extremely handy feature as it is helps the user get more information themselves instead of searching for particular training material. It can help explain detailed business rules or the details of why/how a field is used.
