I am looking at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/unified-operations/dev-itpro/extensibility/map-extensions and https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/unified-operations/dev-itpro/extensibility/maps-as-interfaces,

1. how did the author create the SalesPurchaseTable.ISV2Extension from SalesPurchTable map? When I try to right click SalesPurchTable and try to create a extension in existing project, nothing happens. I tried also tried to create a new project to do it, still nothing showing.

2. How did the author add the method validateAccountingGroup() in the ISV2 table extensions? You can't add methods in extension tables.

Tkx in advance

Did you select correct project with correct model assigned to that project for creating extension ? See image below I can create extension on the same Map . Method creation on map extension is not possible .

Hi Sukrut, I did see that option enabled for me as well on the map, however have you tried clicking on it and was the map extension actually created in your project?

You can not create extensions on map those are moved to table level , So its not a bug Refer this community link

Creating extensions for Maps is not possible in D365. It can be achieved or alternate way is to use mappings section in Table level.

Then they need to remove the create extension option. It is so frustrating there is no good documentation from Microsoft on something so simple.

There is a proper documentation about that, you are either lazy to read this or cannot understand

This explains why it is not possible to use extensions on maps docs.microsoft.com/.../map-extensions

this article shows a solution for mapping docs.microsoft.com/.../maps-as-interfaces

docs.microsoft.com/.../maps-with-versioning
