"I need to disable auto-save for all table forms. Currently, when I enter data in any field on any table, it gets saved automatically. I’ve integrated this with Azure Logic Apps, using an HTTP trigger for Create/Update operations. In my case, every time a field is updated, the logic app is triggered. The number of triggers is increasing significantly. How can I prevent the form from auto-saving? My plan is to add a custom button to the ribbon that will manually save the form, ensuring the data is only saved in the backend when the button is clicked."

Business Central Integration with third party system to reform CRUD operations

Hi,

You cannot completely stop the auto-save feature across all pages in Business Central — it’s part of the platform’s core design. However, there are two approaches you can consider, but keep in mind that these changes has to be applied individually on each page you’re working with:

Use the DelayedInsert Property

You can enable the DelayedInsert property at the page level.

This prevents the system from saving data field by field as you enter it. Instead, the record is saved only when you move to another record or explicitly trigger a save.

Manual Save Using a Custom Button (Using Temporary Table)

If you want full control — meaning nothing is saved until the user clicks a button — you can design the page to use a temporary table as the data source.

Then, on a “Save” action, you manually write the data back to the actual table using AL code (e.g., MODIFY or INSERT(TRUE)).

This method gives you true manual save behavior but requires a bit more development effort.

Hope it helps.
