Created a Card Page When I Should Have Created a List Page

Hi:

I'm testing AL code in a sandbox environment. I made a simple, yet frustrating, mistake.

For the "PageType" code, I should have typed "= List;". Instead, I typed "=Card;".

I had already published the code, before I realized the mistake.

Afterward, I changed the code to be "PageType = List;".

Unfortunately in Business Central, the page is still a card and not a list.

How do I delete the card page and republish this code, so that a list page is created?

Thanks!

John

John - Have you tried publishing with "schemaUpdateMode": "ForceSync" . Only works on Sandbox currently v18

Hi Samantha73:

Actually, in the last few moments, I found a way to delete the page. You simply delete your code in Visual Studio Code and run "AL: Publish without debugging".

That got me back to square one. Good.

But, after going through that experiment, AL still wants to create the List Page as a Card!

I tried everything. I even gave the code a new ID number and name. But, still, when I pull up the page, it's a Card Page instead of a List Page.

Ugh!!!! I don't get it.

Below is my code, in case you have any ideas. Anything would be appreciated.

Thanks, for the quick response!

page 50140 "Date Formula"

{

PageType = List;

ApplicationArea = All;

UsageCategory = Administration;

SourceTable = "Date Formula";

layout

{

area(Content)

{

group(GroupName)

{

field("Primary Key"; "Primary Key") { ApplicationArea = All; }

field("Reference for Date Calculation"; "Reference for Date Calculation") { ApplicationArea = All; }

field("Date Formula to Test"; "Date Formula to Test") { ApplicationArea = All; }

field("Date Result"; "Date Result") { ApplicationArea = All; }

}

}

}

}

Might be a refresh issue or caption ..

couple of things you can try:

1.restart everything - not sure on prem or SaaS. publish to new sandbox

2. Add obvious caption like Caption = 'TEST1 John';

Hi, It looks like you only revised the page type, but did not add a repeater group.

A simple Example of a list page:

Hope this will help.

Thanks.
