Business value

As extensions mature or as a consequence of an extension initially created as a large monolith, the requirement emerges to be able to split up the extension and move ownership of tables or fields along with data. This feature introduces the same controlled process for releasing and taking ownership of tables or fields as part of the extension upgrade process to partner extensions.

Feature details

In the past two releases, the ability to move tables and fields across extensions has been enabled for first-party extensions from Microsoft. In this release we add the ability for partners to use the same capabilities on their extensions.

For the best coverage of the capabilities, see the existing documentation that was made available to cover the support in first-party apps. Learn more in Moving tables and fields between extensions.
