Business value

One of the current extensibility gaps is the lacking ability to extend profiles. This implies that partners have been forced to copy profiles defined in other extensions whenever they needed to do some changes for them. In this release, it's now possible to define profile extension objects.

Feature details

With this feature, you can now create profile extension objects in your AL code. They can be used to modify the target profile's caption, role center, or even include/remove it from the role explorer. It's also possible to add page customizations to a specified profile.

In addition to the language support, additional coverage in IntelliSense, AL Explorer, and analyzer rules have been added.

The following code example shows a profile extension:
