Business value
There is a big productivity increase to be gained for X++ developers by using copilot. More than 40% of published C# code was written by Copilot, and we would like to provide similar help to X++ developers. Copilot helps shorten the ramp up time for new developers, which has always been a problem for the business. We're aiming to allow natural language to be used to describe certain workflows.
Feature details
Use the GitHub Copilot Chat control within Visual Studio 2022 to write your X++ code. There, you can provide natural language tests that describe workflows and have the system to do the work for you. For example, you could write: 'Create a table class MyTable with a Name field and an Age field and create an index over the Name field. Then, create a form that consumes the data in this table,' upon which the system would create the suggested artifacts.
