How to edit functions in portal.

Question

Why can't I edit functions in Azure portal? I am only given the option to use Visual Studio Code or the CLI, which I don't want.

Answer 1

Hi,

First, only certain language/stack/operating system combinations are supported for in-portal editing, as shown in table below. For example, if you are using Java then you wouldn't have the option to edit via the portal.

Language	Runtime stack	Linux	Windows	In-portal editing
C# (isolated worker model)	.NET	✓	✓
C# (isolated worker model)	.NET	✓	✓
C# (in-process model)	.NET	✓	✓
C# script	.NET	✓	✓	✓
JavaScript	Node.js	✓	✓	✓
Python	Python	✓		✓
Java	Java	✓	✓
PowerShell	PowerShell Core	✓	✓	✓
TypeScript	Node.js	✓	✓
Go/Rust/other	Custom Handlers	✓	✓

Second, if you deploy a function using Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio or CLI or other non-portal method the ability to edit functions via the portal will be disabled for that function app.
