Suggestions are not saved until the user keeps them, and field validation overrides them. Web search is announced for later in the wave, not in the initial update 26 release. [Watch on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB2ZG8fM3EE) · Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (YouTube) · 2025-04-01 · 9:28 · tier official · reviewed (checked by Opus) ## Overview The video shows how Copilot suggests values for blank fields on cards and document pages. It creates a customer record and a fixed asset, and shows suggestions from most recently or most frequently used values, lookup selection based on other fields, and AI model knowledge, such as a five-year depreciation life for inkjet printers. It also covers user control and extensibility. Suggestions are visually distinct and are not saved automatically. Users can see why a suggestion was made, use Alt+I or quick entry, and get a reminder when leaving a page with unreviewed suggestions. Custom fields and pages work without extra extensibility code, and developers can read the documentation to improve the output. ## Key points - Copilot suggests values for blank fields on card and document pages. Suggestions appear visually distinct inside fast tabs. - Suggestions are not saved automatically. The user chooses to keep them, and leaving a page with unreviewed suggestions triggers a reminder. - Business Central field validation and AL-based logic override Copilot suggestions. - Suggestions come from most recently or most frequently used values, from lookup choices based on other fields (for example the responsibility center closest to the customer's country), or from the AI model's own knowledge. - Alt+I asks Copilot to fill a field and related fields in a fast tab. Enter accepts a suggestion and moves on in quick entry. - An info icon explains why Copilot made a suggestion. - Web search (Bing) for public details such as addresses, phone numbers and emails is announced for later in the wave, not in the initial update 26 release. ## Chapters - [0:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB2ZG8fM3EE&t=0s) Introduction to Copilot autofill feature - [0:36](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB2ZG8fM3EE&t=36s) Creating a customer record with autofill suggestions - [1:48](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB2ZG8fM3EE&t=108s) Understanding suggestion mechanisms and user control - [3:19](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB2ZG8fM3EE&t=199s) Web search for public information - [4:26](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB2ZG8fM3EE&t=266s) Business Central validation and field logic overrides - [4:57](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB2ZG8fM3EE&t=297s) Creating a fixed asset with keyboard shortcuts - [6:48](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB2ZG8fM3EE&t=408s) AI-powered suggestions and reminder workflow - [7:55](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB2ZG8fM3EE&t=475s) Feature availability and extensibility - [8:56](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB2ZG8fM3EE&t=536s) Call to action and closing ## Features | Feature | Status | At | Evidence | |---|---|---|---| | Copilot autofill for card and document pages | status not stated, demoed | [0:05](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB2ZG8fM3EE&t=5s) | | | Most recently used and most frequently used selection | status not stated, demoed | [2:09](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB2ZG8fM3EE&t=129s) | | | Intelligent lookup selection from predefined choices | status not stated, demoed | [2:35](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB2ZG8fM3EE&t=155s) | | | Web search for public information | announced, demoed | [3:19](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB2ZG8fM3EE&t=199s) | "but do note that the ability to search the web will be available later during the wave" ([8:23](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB2ZG8fM3EE&t=503s)) | | Keyboard shortcut for autofill (Alt+I) | status not stated, demoed | [5:19](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB2ZG8fM3EE&t=319s) | | | Quick entry integration with Copilot | status not stated, demoed | [5:56](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB2ZG8fM3EE&t=356s) | | | Copilot suggestion explanation tooltips | status not stated, demoed | [1:21](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB2ZG8fM3EE&t=81s) | | | AI foundational model suggestions | status not stated, demoed | [6:48](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB2ZG8fM3EE&t=408s) | | | Unsaved suggestion reminder | status not stated, demoed | [7:40](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB2ZG8fM3EE&t=460s) | | | Copilot support for custom fields and pages | status not stated | [8:38](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB2ZG8fM3EE&t=518s) | | ## AL objects mentioned As heard in the captions.
