This post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2025 Wave 1 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2025 Wave 1.

The 2nd of the new functionality in the Development section is troubleshoot clients, apps, and add-ins with telemetry.

This new feature in the Business Central client enhances the overall reliability and user experience by logging exceptions in client add-ins. Administrators can swiftly identify and address issues before they impact users, ensuring smoother operations and reducing downtime. By capturing detailed telemetry data, businesses can gain valuable insights into the performance and stability of their extensions, ultimately leading to improved user satisfaction.

Feature Details

The Business Central client emits a telemetry event if an exception occurs in a client add-in. The telemetry helps administrators monitor and react to errors before users report them.

The client logs the following types of information about issues:

• The environment and company.
• The extension, app, or add-in.
• The type of client (browser, tablet, phone, and so on).
• The error information.
• The user who experienced the error.

The 1st of the new functionality in the Development section is move tables and fields with data across extensions as part of refactoring.

As extensions mature or as a consequence of an extension initially created as a large monolith, the requirement emerges to be able to split up the extension and move ownership of tables or fields along with data. This feature introduces the same controlled process for releasing and taking ownership of tables or fields as part of the extension upgrade process to partner extensions.

Enabled for: Admins, makers, marketers, or analysts, automatically
Public Preview: Apr 2025
General Availability: Apr 2025

Feature Details

In the past two releases, the ability to move tables and fields across extensions has been enabled for first-party extensions from Microsoft. In this release Microsoft add the ability for partners to use the same capabilities on their extensions.
For the best coverage of the capabilities, see the existing documentation that was made available to cover the support in first-party apps. Learn more in Moving tables and fields between extensions.

My Opinion

I’ve worked with a partner who had a large legacy app for Dynamics NAV and who were working to bring it forward to BC as a range of extensions covering the different functional areas. I can see this enhancement being useful to them and other partners who support a range of extensions.
