we experienced an issue yesterday upgrading one third party extension for BC23.2 onprem where the data schema version was synched to the latest version (i.e. sync-navapp) but upgrading the codeunit (start-navappdataupgrade) failed due to bad code in the extension's OnUpgradePerCompany trigger in it's upgrade codeunit.


This leaves Business Central in a difficult position where the field(s) causing the upgrade problem is inaccessible to fix (not without rolling out throw-away PTE to fix the field errors via code, or fix the affected records via MSSQL, etc).


For onprem this is a hinderance with workrounds, but it becomes an even bigger problem with saas.


in RTC, the generic table viewer was RIMD, but in web client it is (and always has been) read-only.


I think it's time for Microsoft to re-assess that decision to make the built-in web client table viewer read only. It would save our implementors and developers a great deal of time if there were a way to edit these records should an emergency arise.
