Option field changes not reflected in dependent extension (Business Central AL)

(0) ShareShare

Hi everyone,
I’m facing an issue in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (AL development) related to option fields and extension dependencies.
 
🔹 Scenario
  • I have Extension A, where I created a field on the Customer table:
field(50100; "Status"; Option)
{
OptionMembers = " ","New","Dormant","Warm Lead","Returning";
}
  • This extension is already published in my environment.
  • Later, I modified the OptionMembers (added/changed values) and republished Extension A.
The changes are correctly visible within Extension A.

🔹 Problem
  • I have another Extension B, which has a dependency on Extension A.
  • In Extension B, I am trying to use this field and its option values.
👉 However, in Extension B, I can still see only the old option members, not the updated ones.
 
🔹 What I tried
  • Downloaded symbols multiple times
  • Increased version of Extension A
  • Rebuilt and republished Extension B
  • But the issue still persists.
🔹 Expected Behavior

Extension B should reflect the updated option members from Extension A.
 
❓ Questions
  • Why are updated option members not visible in the dependent extension?
  • Is this a limitation of Option fields in Business Central?
I have the same question (0)
