Hello all,
We have identified a slight issue in our AX2012 R3 environment for which hotfix was released.
I downloaded hotfix packages from LCS and when trying to install it, I see that there are A LOT of other hotfixes included in that package.
I know that there is a workaround for such thing - remove all redundant models from "models" folder and install only the needed hotfix.
In my case, only 1 model is specififed as "AffectedModel" for my hotifx in manifest file.
My question is: how in general it should be done?
Installing 50 new dependent hotfixes doesn't look as a good idea, as a lot of regression testing would be needed after that and issue that we trying to fix isn't as big to make such an investment.
But... removing models from hotfix package doesn't look safe either.
Could you share your experience and how you mange such cases?

I have the same question (0)Sometimes the issue description in LCS shows the code of the fix. In that case you could even apply that code manually in your environment.
I would not suggest picking only some models of the hotfix package - they are packaged together because of dependencies. Maybe your hotfix requires some other classes to be changed in order to prevent some other issue. Or, it's dependent on a previous hotfix.
It is painful, luckily in D365FO the process of applying hotfixes is streamlined a lot! (And all hotfixes are cumulative, so MS doesn't have to worry about all different combinations of cherry picked hotfixes in the customer environments.)
