AL Language extension 7.1

Changelog on the Visual Studio Marketplace · Business Central 2021 release wave 1 update 1

For this update there are bug fixes and changes around a few different areas.

Snapshot debugging

Snapshot debugging allows recording built-in codeunit based stack traces if there is a snappoint defined in the al file containing the subscription to the built-in code unit trigger event.

Reports extensions

• Parameters and captions are now supported report layouts in report extensions
• Debugging supported added for report extension
• Added support for modify on dataitems with a set of triggers to go along with it.
• There were a couple of issues around adding dataitems into the correct position, which caused layouts to not work correctly.
• The checks for duplicate usage of identical names did not catch all cases.

Built-in functions and types

• #6568. The deprecation warning has been removed from UploadIntoStream
• #6570. The type ModuleInfo now contains a PackageId.
• If the StartSession with the timeout was to be used, it required a record and company. That has been changed so they are not required.

Go to Definition

• When a package has ShowMyCode set to false, then the editor will show a generated view from the symbol information available. That has been improved to include more objects.
