Customers are having trouble getting designer-created extensions to disappear when resources are transferred internally by Microsoft. Would you please notify me in advance of the transfer of resources or post-transfer of resources?

Hello, is this around Designer extensions on sandboxes being removed during upgrade of sandboxes, as per the note in the docs on sandbox upgrade, see below? If so, we are aware of this, but keep voting on the idea.

Note:
When you publish an app from Visual Studio Code to an online sandbox for testing or you create an app using Designer, it is published within the scope of the service node that is hosting that sandbox. Upgrading the sandbox to a new version means that the sandbox is moved to another node that is running the new version. All apps deployed from Visual Studio Code or created using Designer are removed before the sandbox is moved because they will not be available on the new node. However, the data of an app is not removed, so you only have to re-publish and install the app to make it available. Apps that are uploaded to the environments of both types (production and sandbox) on the Extension Management page using the Upload Extension action are published within a global scope and downloaded to the service node and installed during the upgrade, which means that they will not disappear.

Thank you for this suggestion! Currently this is not on our roadmap. We are tracking this idea and if it gathers more votes and comments we will consider it in the future. Best regards, Business Central Team
