Microsoft added lot of new features in latest version of business central that is Business Central Wave 2 2021 (BC 19).

The most important feature from the Developer and End user point of view is to get the detailed error message. In BC 19 if any error pops up in the application then user can see the detailed information. Microsoft has enhanced the error message window with lot of additional details.

Once users get the detailed information then that information can be shared with the Developer or Partner for the quick analysis.
