Using 'ApplicationArea' (set by the 'Experience Tier') we can remove certain UI elements from the user / exclude objects from the 'Tell Me' search results. This applies to page, field controls, reports, ...
We would like to get 'ApplicationArea' support on other object types as well:
- Enum values : this would allow us to exclude certain values from enum lists from being shown (and avoid complex structures using Option Lookup Buffer)
- Profile : if an app contains X profiles, only the profiles with a matching / enabled 'ApplicationArea' would become available for the end user. This would allow us to ship one app containing various profiles and - based on the 'ApplicationArea' - enabled/disable some.

Example on standard Business Central: if the experience tier is Essentials, all UI related to Service & Manufacturing is hidden.
However, when the 'Email Scenario Assignment' is used, the 'Service ...' document types / enums are shown. Having ApplicationArea support on enums would allow us to hide these values.

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
