This post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 Wave 2 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 Wave 2.
The 7th of the new functionality in the Development section is package resources in extensions and access from AL.
Often features require some data, for example to initialize and set up. Until now, it has only been possible to add such data and consume from AL through the use of labels or code. In this release, Microsoft are adding the ability to include resources in extensions and access these from AL.
Enabled for: Admins, makers, marketers, or analysts, automatically
Public Preview: Oct 2024
General Availability: Oct 2024
Feature Details
Developers will be able to package resources in extensions and access the content of these resources from within AL code. This can be used to ship data for setup and initialization features (for example, for RapidStart packages, demo data, templates, and more), thereby avoiding having to use labels or codeunits for this purpose.
