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.
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.
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...
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.
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 ...
Adding an index containing fields from the parent and child tables when using Table Inheritance
The Table inheritance was functionality introduced in AX2012. You can this way make tables inhering from a base table with the 'Support Inheritance' and 'Extends' properties on the table. DirPartyTable is a standard example using this functionality. But also EcoResProduct. I’m using it n...
SQL Parameter sniffing on other columns than DataAreaId or PartitionId / literals
Ever faced performance issues due to parameter sniffing on other columns than DataAreaId or PartitionId?
What if we could have more control over the fact which column is handled as a literal (and not as a parameter) in the query?
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations, E...
Provide possibility to limit number of available enum values
We are looking for a possibility to limit the number of available enum values shown to the customer. For example, in certain dropdown lists we want to limit the number of available options available to the customer. An example is the Journal type under which we can specify on the Journal Names...
This functionality is not planned yet, it requires major changes to how extension metadata is loading into the system.
XPO Conversion tool for d365fo
It would be great if we may have direct access to the utility that converts AX2012/AX2009 XPO format to the d365fo XML-based format. Or at least having a utility that converts an AX2012 Model to XML-based d365fo artifacts, would also be a great help.
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.
