Hi ,
I've an XMLPORT whose declaration is :
 
XmlPort 50008 "MileStone XML"
{
    Direction = Export;
    Encoding = UTF8;
    FormatEvaluate = Xml;
    Format = Xml;
    UseDefaultNamespace = true;
   
    schema
    {
        tableelement(RigheBooking; "righe booking export")
 
XML is created correctly, but is missing the 
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 
any suggestion ?
Is there a way to add automatically ?

    XMLPORT not creating
    Hi,
    Xmldeclaration is not recognized, even if i'm in 
    IT Business Central 22.1 (piattaforma 22.0.56191.0 + applicazione 22.1.55890.56216)
    onprem (but workins as we are in cloud)
     
    i seems that xmldeclaration should be available since :
     
    The XMLDeclaration property for XMLports was introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2020 Release Wave 2 (version 17.0).
     
     
    something wrong with visual studio ?
    or XMLdeclaration has been implemented in a newer wave release than 22 ?

    Greetings , 
     

    By default, XMLports use the UTF-8 encoding standard, which is why the XMLport was created successfully. If you require a different encoding, it must be specified in the AL file.

    To include the XML declaration header automatically, you can enforce it in your AL file by setting the property below:

    Sample Example Below 
    xmlport 50100 MyXmlport
    {
        xmldeclaration = true; // Add this line
        schema
        {
            // ...existing code...
        }
        // ...existing code...
    }

    Moved from Integration, Dataverse, and general topics forum to Small and medium business | Business Central, NAV, RMS forum, because it seems to be about Business Central. Please let me know if you disagree.
     
    Note that the header <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> is optional (in XML 1.0).
