Bring back progress bars on Ratio controls and Dialogs

Nicolas Saleron on 4/12/2020 5:35:41 PM
Hello,

We are missing the progress indicator (https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/fluentui#/controls/web/progressindicator) in these cases:

- dialogs when we have the string @1@@@@@@@@@ (see: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/dynamics365smb-devitpro-pb/issues/551)

- controls on pages where the ExtendedDataType = Ratio (see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/properties/devenv-extendeddatatype-property)

Thank you for your feedback. We are considering adding visual progress indicator to our roadmap. 
Note that there already is an idea with significant votes for the dialog progress bar: https://experience.dynamics.com/ideas/idea/?ideaid=5aa43076-2556-e911-b047-0003ff68c788. 
We are going to consolidate those.

Yes, please make percentage/progress bars actually work again in dialogs...

There are still loads of `@1@` type placeholders left in the base app, but they have never worked in the Web client... so e.g. when writing an Excel sheet via Excel Buffer, there is no visible progress, just the title "Creating worksheet" but the progress is hidden.

Progress/percentage bars should either work, or we should be prevented from creating them by a code analyser diagnostic. Anything else just wastes time. And until MS actually show them, they shouldn't use them in their apps!
