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 20th of the new functionality in the Development section is running objects in actions defaults to UI descriptors on target object.

When adding actions in AL, developers can specify properties like Caption, Tooltip, AboutText, and AboutTitle. Sometimes actions are just used to run specific objects, so to ensure consistency and reuse with these, such actions now default to the Caption, Tooltip, AboutText, and AboutTitle of the targeted object. This also ensures that existing actions will benefit from Tooltip, AboutText, and AboutTitle being defined on the targeted object.

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

Feature Details

Actions that have the RunObject property specified will use the Caption, ToolTip, AboutText, and AboutTitle properties of the targeted application object, if none of these properties is specified on the action itself. This ensures consistency and reuse, even for existing actions, while at the same time allowing overriding those values by specifically setting them on the action itself.

In support of this, the ToolTip property has also been added to reports.

The 19th of the new functionality in the Development section is generate launch json file from the web client.

One of the feedback items on the Open in Visual Studio Code has been the request to quickly generate a launch configuration matching the specific environment. In this release Microsoft have added actions in the web client that do exactly that, making it easier to create a launch configuration to investigate or debug a specific environment in Visual Studio Code.

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

Feature Details

Now, directly within the web client, you can generate a matching launch.json configuration for the specific environment, making it easier to investigate or debug a specific environment from Visual Studio Code.

There are two options in the Business Central web client to generate the launch.json configuration.

You can use the Generate launch configurations for this environment action in the Troubleshooting section of the Help & Support page.

In addition, you can use the Generate launch configurations action in the Develop in VS Code action group on the Extension Management page menu.
