NavNCLDialogException error Business Central when calling CopyProfileWithUserInput

Hello everyone,
I’m facing an issue while trying to programmatically create a profile by copying the "RAPIDSTART SERVICES" profile into a new one.

ConfPersonalizationMgt.CopyProfileWithUserInput(profileSrcRec, profileNewRec);

I get this exception:

Exception of type 'Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Types.Exceptions.NavNCLDialogException' was thrown. Stack trace: "Conf./Personalization Mgt." (CodeUnit 9170).CopyProfileWithUserInput line 5 - Base Application version 27.1.41698.42312

My code:

procedure createProfile()
var
profileNewRec: Record "All Profile";
profileSrcRec: Record "All Profile";
ConfPersonalizationMgt: Codeunit "Conf./Personalization Mgt.";
begin
profileSrcRec.Reset();
profileSrcRec.SetRange("Profile ID", 'RAPIDSTART SERVICES');
if profileSrcRec.FindFirst() then begin
ConfPersonalizationMgt.CopyProfileWithUserInput(profileSrcRec, profileNewRec);
if profileNewRec.Get(profileNewRec.Scope, profileNewRec."App ID", profileNewRec."Profile ID") then begin
Message('Profile %1 created successfully.', profileNewRec."Profile ID");
end;
end;
end;

What I suspect

It seems the method CopyProfileWithUserInput internally tries to open a dialog or confirmation page — which cannot run in background or non-UI contexts → resulting in NavNCLDialogException.

My question

Has anyone successfully used this method from AL code without triggering a dialog?

Is there an alternative to copy a profile silently, without UI interaction?

(For example: using CopyProfile()

Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
