Development
The Business Central updates have certainly made an effort to help AL developers be more productive. In today’s blog, we are discovering the new and improved AL language and Development features.
Namespaces
Namespaces can be used to reduce naming conflicts and organise code and objects.
Folder Location
New AL projects can be set to a default folder location, whereas previously it would automatically save to the user’s Documents folder.
Inlay Hints
When writing source code, inlay hints add information so you can better understand what the code does. You can now receive inlay hints for AL parameter names and return types.
Text String Value
See text string value by hovering over label variables in AL code, eliminating the need to navigate to find it.
Turn Data Analysis Mode Off
Some pages don’t need to be analysed for data, so now you can turn Data Analysis Mode off on queries and pages.
Syntax Highlighting
AL in Azure DevOps can now use Syntax highlighting, which is great for making sources easier to read.
Teaching Tooltips
Teaching tooltips can be added to help users complete a task. These can be added to queries and report pages.
SecretText
Protect text and credentials with SecretText. This prevents these sensitive texts from being revealed through debugging.
App Source
AppSource publishers can now sell Business Central apps via AppSource.
Rich Text Editor
Edit data and content in Business Central using the built-in rich text edit. Extensions and applications can have their rich text functionalities customised.
Find All References
Triggers, system methods, and trigger events now work with find all references.
