Label your controls with ease using D365FO Ninja DevTools

Following the same principle mentioned in my previous post about populating mandatory controls to comply to form design patterns, trying always to simplify my development work. This is saving me a tremendous amount of time.

This post is about Labels. Most of the developers (even myself) don't commit to using Labels unless they are forced to use them because the client wants a multi language interface or the company is strict to best practices.

With this add-in I think labeling becomes  an easy game. The add-in will just pick the name of your control and create the label based on it. You don't need to open the labels file and create your labels anymore.

Let's see this example:

Step 1 - I specified the Model extension used in the naming convention in the add-in parameters, in my example "THW" (The Hard Way)

Step 2 - I created the default en-us label file

Step 3 - Label my control using the add-in:

Result:

The same trick will work with most used controls like: Forms, Tables, Fields, Menu items, EDTs etc.
