It was fun presenting with Dmitry Katson at @bctechdays.com about vibe coding vs. hand-crafted AL. It turned out that AI is helpful, but not for every step on the way. The conclusion was evident: It takes a captain to use a copilot! The community voted and thought the same. But, we had our beer! 🍻

20250512 - Lessons learned from using Power Automate approvals with Business Central
It's quite easy setting up Power Automate approvals to work with Business Central. However, after the initial setup there are quite some pitfalls and you may find yourself wrestling with unexpected behavior. This session will discuss various lessons learned from implementing Power Automate approvals with Business Central. We will discuss the proper way of canceling approval requests, monitoring progress, exception handling and maintaining and upgrading existing approval flows. Combined with many demos this session will give you a lot of take-aways that can be applied immediately in your daily work.

I'm preparing a session about AL fundamentals you should know, even in a world of AI and Copilots. Think of properties, patterns, code that could be replaced by setting a few properties, etc. Looking for input, what should I definitely not forget to cover? #msdyn365bc

@aj.kauffmann.nl's work on the REST Client module is a perfect example of #TogetherWeWin. Bit by bit, AJ is adding improvements, to the benefit of us all. Now, making REST calls with #MSDyn365BC is as easy as 1,2,3 🚀 Thanks AJ 🙏 Here the latest #WhatsCooking 🎞️: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNHU...

How many times did you count lines in an AL code function to get to the line reported by the debugger? Change the way how line numbers are displayed to relative, place the cursor on the procedure line and you'll easily find the line number you are looking for! #msdyn365bc

I've just enabled Copilot Next Edit Suggestions in VS Code. That's a significant improvement!

Lesson learned: browser add-ins like Grammarly, that inject code into a text field for showing options like spelling corrections, cause Copilot in BC to fail. #msdyn36bc
