Hello all,
I created a number sequence associated with an EDT (extended data type).
Then after some time i had to change the EDT name.
Then I found that a new number sequence reference is created.
So now i have two number sequences references in the module parameters.
Can you tell me how to remove the old one pls?

Please note that i run the reset functionality here but it had no effect:

Hi,

There is no functional support to delete the reference. You can create an X++ script that will delete the old reference.

There are few options to remedy to your issue:

Access Number Sequence Setup:

Navigate to Organization administration > Number sequences > Number sequences

Or go to Organization administration > Number sequences > Number sequence references

Find the Old Reference:

Look for references to your old EDT name in the list

You can filter by module or search for the old EDT name

Delete the Old Reference:

Select the old reference record

Click Delete (you may need administrator privileges)

Clean Up Parameters:

Go to the module parameters where these appear

Remove the old reference from the parameter form

Now if you find that you are still struggling and any good with powershell, you can use powershell:

$oldReference = Get-D365NumberSequenceReference -Name "OLD_EDT_NAME" Remove-D365NumberSequenceReference -NumberSequenceReference $oldReference

@MS-29011540-0 You've verified both replies as verified answers, but they contradict each other. Can you please check that and mark the correct answer only?

Also, a lot of information in the AI-generated answer posted by Cyrille Nembot is wrong. For example, no Powershell cmdlet Remove-D365NumberSequenceReference exist; it was just AI hallucinating. This clearly can't be a solution. If you still believe that the reply contains something that is a solution, please tell us what it is. Merely marking the whole reply as a solution clearly isn't correct.

@Martin Dráb

I knew @Cyrille Nembot's answer wasn't correct, but i thought he might tried it before and it worked with him :)

Well, a verified answer means that you confirm that it did resolve the question or problem that this thread is about. If you don't know whether it works or not, simply don't mark it as a verified answer. Not mentioning the time when you know that the answer is wrong.

Especially these AI-generated answers aren't to be trusted; there are users (or bots) who paste anything that AI responds, without any attempt to check the correctness.
