In addition to the App Update Cadence (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/administration/tenant-admin-center-manage-apps#update-installed-apps-with-environment-updates) released last week, it would be nice if our customers also received the Update Cadence for the Microsoft BaseApp. At the moment it looks like a lot of fixes and new features will be added with Cumulative Updates 1, 2 and 3. Also, many new features won't be released with the major version xx.0, so the bug fixes will even arrive in later Cumulative Updates. Many of our customers are annoyed that the major updates break their ERP system and this cause a lot of support hours. This would dramatically reduce the total cost of ownership and improve customer satisfaction with this Microsoft SaaS offering.


The Microsoft BaseApp Update Cadence option could be monthly (default) and bi-annual (only matured Cumulative Update xx.5+).


So it would be nice if you, as a customer, could decide that you only want to receive updates twice a year with a mature version that has been tested by the early adopters.



It might also make sense to smooth out the role with you spitting the monthly option into update rings like in Intune (Test (Beta), First, Fast, Broad).
