Make End of service longer or slow down release schedule

Michał Tekiela on 2/12/2021 3:13:14 PM
Service update availability schedule (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/fin-ops-core/fin-ops/get-started/public-preview-releases) is crazy. It is 10 versions a year which means pretty much release every month. In order to perform an update massive testing effort is necessary and versions are not supported for longer than a month from becoming GA. This makes Dynamics 365 Finance very expensive system to run and we already hear this from our potential customers. Please either slow down the schedule or make the versions supported for longer periods.

Agree. At the same time, the transition to every 4th release is forced. We, as customers, would like to end the year with the stable working version 10.0.18. However, we had to unscheduled testing version 10.0.21 and adapt customizations for 13 legal entities with the involvement of more than 15 people, otherwise our industrial environment would be forced to update to 10.0.22, for which our customizations had not yet been adapted.

I confirm. For example, it is better to release two versions of the platform update per year. If you need to fix important bugs, release KB.
