With Business Central 2025 wave 1, Microsoft will be able to delete obsolete tables and fields from their own apps.

Publishers on AppSource are facing the same issues as Microsoft: our products evolve, our products are sometimes redesigned.

We need at some point to break things (= deleting tables and fields).

My thought is that we are conscious of the consequences of deleting customer data and we are already following the obsoletion pattern.

If a table or field is deleted, and Microsoft want to ensure we are not doing this too quickly, the apps could be compared to a version published X months ago and ensure this table/field is already ObsoleteState = Removed at that time.
