Several releases ago, we introduced the powerful ability to open Visual Studio Code from within the web client, that is, a specific environment, to investigate or debug code. We now add the ability to proactively select the extensions to include in the project when opening Visual Studio Code. If the user has permissions to access source, that code will be available in the opened Visual Studio Code. Otherwise, it will be symbols that can be used for investigating functionality in AL Explorer or to code against.
On the Extension Management page there's now a Develop in VS Code action group with a number of new possibilities for developers. One of these is the Download in VS Code action that allows the user to select one or more extensions to open in Visual Studio Code.
In the opened Visual Studio Code project, there's always access to symbols for those extensions, whereas access to source depends on IP protection settings for the involved extensions and user permissions.
