I am trying to edit few text labels in Dynamics 365 modern POS. In AX 2012, we used to add the parameter -tr to the enterprise  POS shortcut to get the text IDs  of all the fields. However, on Modern POS I am not able to do it. Any tip on how I can get the text IDs for labels in Modern POS ?

    Hi, 

    +1 on that Question! I want to know the same thing.

    Open the POS client (MPOS or CPOS). Go to Settings > Developer mode.  Turn on Developer Mode and then enable Show String IDs.

    @Patrick there is no such option in MPOS with the latest version.

    Yes, I faced the same issue in CPOS in D365O-1611/U6. But Shane Erstad and Ranjith Kumar Thallapeli were so kind to guide me here, so special thanks to them. I am happy to share my findings:

    General: the visibility of the Developer Mode options in the POS' Settings screen (technically: 'View') is dependent on the config.isDebugMode setting in the pos.js file. In order to have the Developer Mode options visible you need to set this parameter to true.

    1. For CPOS, these settings are respected and cached at run time, so the procedure to update the setting would be as follows:
      • Navigate to the webroot folder of the cloud POS IIS web application. In IIS, you can find this by selecting the RetailCloudPos web site under sites -> right click and choose explore
      • Copy the pos.js file to a local folder, for example c:\temp
      • Copy the file again and name it pos_orig.js, so you're always safe having a copy of the original file before making any changes
      • Open the pos.js file with Visual Studio or a text editor
      • Find the Config.isDebugMode option and set its value to true.
      • Save the file
      • Copy the file to the webroot folder and confirm to overwrite
      • Restart the RetailCloudpos web site
      • Clear your browser cache
      • Open the CPOS client, perform device activation and login
      • Now you'll see the Developer Mode options are back in town again :).
    2. For MPOS, the pos.js settings cannot be taken dynamically (at run time). They need to be included in a built. So first you update the setting in pos.js and then you include that file in a new built.

    Thanks Patrick but it seems like there is no config.isDebugMode in the Pos.js file. I have search in the file and there is no such variable.

    Wish there was an easier option to turn it on so that a non technical person can turn it on.
