It would be very helpful if we could inspect the full contents of a temporary table during debugging in AL (Visual Studio Code), similar to how we view a table in a list page or SQL.

Currently, in the debugger, we can only see individual field values and not the whole data set for a temporary table. Developers need to either loop through the records and output messages or copy them to a non-temp table, which is time-consuming and not ideal.

Suggested solution:

Allow developers to expand a temporary table variable in the debugger to see all rows and fields in a grid or table-style view. Similar to a DataSet preview in C# debuggers or SQL Server Management Studio.

This feature would save a lot of time and improve debugging, especially in complex reports or multi-layer logic using temporary buffers.
