Increase Length of Application object Identifier to 50 Characters.
30 Characters has been for a long time the maximum length, however NAV/BC has evolved in many ways that now we often need to add Prefixes and/or Suffixes to objects Identifiers. I believe all community would clearly benefit with this suggestion, mainly because we have reached a point of no return...
Report Extensions should be introduced
Since the only development and deployment method currently supports is Extension Development via a Sandbox using VS Code (AL Lang), isn't it great to have Report Extension Development capability too? There's always possible to dev Extensions for Standard Tables, Pages, CUs but why not Reports?...
Property to set focus on specific Text box
In implementations where Barcode scanners are used (not necessarily the mobile one, but "keyboard" one) like POS, or where user needs quickly start typing the data, developer needs to be able to set focus on specific textbox. There are two parts of this: 1) Set active textbox after the page is op...
Extending keys in a base table from an AL table extension
When developing AL table extensions, it is possible to create one or more keys, but the scope of that key is solely in the extended table (not the base table that is being extended). VS Code will not allow you to create that key if the key references one or more fields found in the parent table...
HTML Editor Control Add-in
It would be nice if Business Central would provide a build-in HTML Editor Control Add-In, which could be used for Editing Rich Text like a detailed Item Description for a Online Shop or when Sending an Invoice via E-Mail with E-Mail Body to edited the body before sending. A few Open Source Edito...
Ability to downloaded a runtime package for a given version from AppSource
For CI/CD, testing, prerelease evaluation and a lot of other scenarios, it would be great to have an API to pull runtime packages from AppSource that match the version (artifact) of a Docker container.
Business Central automated tests results should all pass
Microsoft shippes docker images that include automated tests that ISVs can use to test if there apps don't raise any issues in Business Central standard processes. On the moment not all tests pass on the demo database and / or W1 Cronus (Base image) for Business Central SaaS edition. To have a c...
[IP Protection] Ability to debug app without ShowMyCode=true
Hi, For now the only possibility to debug the code is to set the showMyCode property to true in the manifest file of our app. In combination with this setting we can add the [NonDebuggable] attribute in parts of the code we don't want to be seen by the debugger. Problem is with showMycCode = tr...
- More granular static app.json settings for IP access through flags in the new "resourceExposurePolicy"
- allowDebugbing: Control source access during debug. Note that it would be possible to mine IP across debug sessions
- allowDownloadingSource: Control access to downloading .app with source from tenant
- includeSourceInSymbols: Control whether symbols contain source when downloaded from server during development
- Ability to dynamically set above flags per AAD tenants through placing .json configuration file on KeyVault resource defined in app.json
- This allows locking down the app in various of above dimensions and unlock (temporary) for specific AAD tenants
- Obsoleting showMyCode app.json property
- Obsolete warning if used
- We will error if both showMyCode and resourceExposurePolicy properties are used at the same time
Improve Development Experience performance in VS Code
Working in VS Code on larger projects seems to eat a lot of CPU and Memory, even when following the recommended settings by Microsoft. We often find CPU reaching 100% and memory running over 10 Gb while opening AL projects and working with AL files, forcing us to reload / re-open VS Code frequent...
