Business Central Developer

A software developer who develops applications for Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Got a question, please ask!

[Krzysztof Bialowas (aka KB) @myNAVblog]

Back in 2019, I introduced the Basics of AL workbook, helping developers take their first steps in #MSDyn365BC Dynamics 365 Business Central. Now, it's time for Part 2—designed for advanced developers ready to push their skills further (to be honest I wrote it quite some time ago however never had time to publish - first days of new year I think is perfect timing).

This new workbook dives into:

✅ Interfaces
✅ Queries & APIs
✅ Lists, Dictionaries, and more!

Like before, this is an interactive and practical guide—not for copy-pasting, but for hands-on coding and real-world problem-solving. 📚 It's free! Use it, share it, and grow.

Hey,

VS Code doesn't seem to launch when configured as "Publish: Microsoft Cloud Sandbox" in launch.json.

However, after 5-10 minutes, multiple sign-in dialogs open in VS Code. Have you encountered this issue as well?

#BCALHelp

Our NextMajor pipelines are failing on expressions that assign to CaptionClass.

Our piplines run fine on Current and NextMinor.

The error occurs using the simple example from Docs below.

Anyone else seeing this issue?

Found bug in job queue BC24.2
Be aware that it is not possible to have jobs running over midnight due to new check in Job Queue Dispatcher. At the moment if you set an Ending time after midnight the job will get status Waiting only and not start.

@duichwer @KeptyCZ Thanks @duichwer !

[Business Central Developer @365_developer]

Custom table needs to retain data only for last x days with some conditions.

Retention Policy (RP) seemed a better choice but the field - "Table Filter" has limited access.

Ever setup RP with AL without user interaction?
#MSDyn365BC #bcalhelp

[Business Central Developer @365_developer]

@KeptyCZ @duichwer There is a procedure SetTableFilter for public facade but it opens Filter Page Builder.

Codeunit "Retention Policy Setup" (and a few others) does not expose the field through AL.

Is there any alternative?

@arthrvdv This exception is thrown, when we use Error('') in code to stop execution and rollback changes.

It doesn't show any error to user (some scenarios require this).

You need to refactor code and exit before any changes in data. But, in some cases you may not be able to avoid it.

@tonyabm_ Custom or Built-in Report Layouts have unique code for each layout and you can select report layout from Vendor >> Document Layouts for vendors.
AL: You can also run specific custom layout or built-in report (with code) by using codeunit Report Layout Selections.

Time is ticking. We need to say goodbye to the Mainstream support for #MSDyn365bc v14. It means, last version of C/Side will be out of Mainstream support next month.

@itssamonline @JustinTrudeau @DLeBlancNB @SurreyRCMP @Dave_Eby @mikefarnworthbc @HCI_Ottawa @MEAIndia What kind of law & order is in Canada? Would entire community be punished for unknown person's action?

After India's notable achievements in space exploration through #Chandrayaan3, even entities like the BBC are raising questions about whether India should allocate such substantial resources to this pursuit.
The image below presents an alternative, financially prudent approach.

Hey #BCALHelp, who wants to be on a live stream to explain best practices for cancelling BC events (and IsHandled) to me like I'm 5 years old?

Seriously, no big words--literally 5 yr old level 😉

You'll need to prep, but I think it would make for a good conference presentation

Another good reason to study the Typer Helper codeunit from time to time.

Has anyone else seen this? Just started happening on a customer who has been importing these for over 2 years.

[Business Central Developer @365_developer]

@skkulla @steveendow Yes, I restarted the container but that did not help as well. Also, checked if I have any font missing in my Windows Fonts

[Business Central Developer @365_developer]

Reports in Business Central Container are not showing readable fonts even after running the command - "Add-FontsToBCContainer".

How can I fix the issue?
