API: System Audit Date

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

Hi,

I am developing a custom API to extract vendor and related data using BC 19.1. My API is working fine and I would like to add audit fields such as systemCreatedAt and SystemModifiedAt

I tried adding them using Rec as well xRec but getting compilation error 

                field(systemCreatedAt; Rec.SystemCreatedAt)
                {
                    Caption = 'SystemCreatedAt';
                }
                field(systemModifiedAt; Rec.SystemModifiedAt)
                {
                    Caption = 'SystemModifiedAt';
                }
compilation failed
src/api/manageVendorAPI.al(92,44):
error AL0132: 'Record Vendor' does not contain a definition for 'SystemCreatedAt' src/api/manageVendorAPI.al(96,45): error AL0132: 'Record Vendor' does not contain a definition for 'SystemModifiedAt'
Any idea what can be the best approach to add field such as SystemCreatedAt and SystemModifiedAt in my APIs (Page Type API)
Thanks
Famy

    Hi, Stefano is right.

    More details:

    Data audit system fields are added to every table in Dynamics 365 Business Central 2020 Release Wave 2 (BC17)

    https://yzhums.com/1897/

    Hope this helps as well.

    Thanks.

    Version 16 does not contain these fields. These fields are available starting from BC 17 (October 2020).

    I am using version 20.3 and this works fine for me:

    Unfortunately i do not have a version 16 to look at.

    page 50100 vendapi
{
    APIGroup = 'vendor';
    APIPublisher = 'publisherName';
    APIVersion = 'v1.0';
    Caption = 'vendapi';
    DelayedInsert = true;
    EntityName = 'vendor';
    EntitySetName = 'Vendors';
    PageType = API;
    SourceTable = Vendor;
    
    layout
    {
        area(content)
        {
            repeater(General)
            {
                field(systemCreatedAt; Rec.SystemCreatedAt)
                {
                    Caption = 'SystemCreatedAt';
                }
                field(systemCreatedBy; Rec.SystemCreatedBy)
                {
                    Caption = 'SystemCreatedBy';
                }
                field(systemId; Rec.SystemId)
                {
                    Caption = 'SystemId';
                }
                field(systemModifiedAt; Rec.SystemModifiedAt)
                {
                    Caption = 'SystemModifiedAt';
                }
                field(systemModifiedBy; Rec.SystemModifiedBy)
                {
                    Caption = 'SystemModifiedBy';
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

    Maybe you can try to use the lastmodifedat field and see if that works.

    I see that is the field MS use in their standard API's.
