HI Experts,

Hope you are doing fine.

Recently , I faced a warning for a field which is in base application and in obsoleteState= Pending , this field has reference in our customized extension ,now this shows warning in Visual studio. The field is Home Page in Company Information Table.

Now , I don't understand , how this warning can be solved or this will work automatically when field will removed , how its behaviour is defined, not able to understand. Please suggest a solution.

Thanks in advance.

Hope this might be helpful:

Yes, the obsoleteState = Pending warning means the field will become an error in a future update. It's recommended to remove its reference from your extension now and find an alternative to prevent breakage during future Business Central updates.

Hi @Unanonyms.5974,

You change nothing according to the message they'll increased the number of characters from 80 to 255 so I don't think you'll have any problem.

Best regards,

Agreed with previous answer they are just increasing field char limit from 80 to 255. You will loose nothing after this update

Hi @Sohail Ahmed , @Mohamed Amine Mahmoudi , Very thanks for your quick response.

As per your sayings , I need to do nothing , as length will increased by Microsoft. I was confused before but it was fine.

Again Thanks.

Cheers

However, after Microsoft updates, you may also need to modify the length of this field in your extension. 80->255.

Hope this helps as well.

Thanks.
