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?...

​Thank you for your feedback. We have released support for report extensions with 2021 Wave 1. With this you can make additive changes to existing dataitems, add new nested dataitems, modify request page and add additional layout (but not modify existing base layout). Watch the Virtual Launch session on What's New in AL and Visual Studio Code for more, as well as Docs Report extensibility - Dynamics 365 Release Plan | Microsoft Docs

Thank you for your feedback. We thought we would release this earlier, but have now reverted status back to "Under Review" as we assess our use of such rich-text controls. We are still considering adding it to our (longer term) roadmap.

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...

The proposal is accepted, and we have started working on stabilizing the tests. It will require multiple work items to get it fully done, so you can expect small incremental improvements over a period of time.
The tests should already be more stable on v21.0.0.0.

[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...

Thanks for logging an idea on this and voting

We shipped this as part of 2021 Wave 2


The solution covers:
  • 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

Regards,
Business Central R&D team
