Business value
Currently in finance and operations apps you can declare up to 251 (0 to 250) enum values in a single X++ enum type. However, industry enhancements demand a higher number of enum values to be configurable. Some areas, such as LedgerPostingTypes, get trimmed due to the 251 value size limitation. Removing the value limitation will provide more flexibility so that you can declare as many enum values as needed.
Feature details
In the 2023 release wave 1 plan, we are providing the capability to remove the enum value restriction. That way, enums that require more than 251 values, such as LedgerPostingTypes, can be successfully configured.
