Posted on by Blide12

I tried to modify the caption of action like below using Visual Code AL, but It doesn't work as expected. And also how can I add new icon to the Business Central on Cloud if I want to change the icon for the Bank Accounts that in yellow circle?

Can I get some example of the code to change the Customer and Bank Accounts?

Thanks

I tried to modify the field, but it doesn't work for actions. The code I tried:

pageextension 50100 DemoAddFieldCardExt extends "Customer Card"
{actions
{
// Add changes to page actions here
modify(Customer)
{
CaptionML = ENU = 'Students';
}
}
}

Hi,

FYI the support for using ML properties (CaptionML and TooltipML) is deprecated. This means you Should use Caption instead of CaptionML and tooltip instead of tooltipML.

the best way to do that is writing

caption = 'Students';

HI, I this is my sample code on modify the caption, but the problem is I can change and add field but when for the action, it doesn't change anything.

pageextension 50100 DemoAddFieldCardExt extends "Customer Card"

{

layout

{

addlast(General)

{

field("My Option"; "Option Field")

{

ApplicationArea = All;

}

}

modify(Blocked)

{

Caption = 'Blocking';

}

}

actions

{

// Add changes to page actions here

modify(Contact)

{

Caption= 'Test Action';

}

}

}

This is the screenshot of the result

The code supposed to change "Contact" into "Student" but it still show up as "Contact". I am able to change the "Blocked" into "Blocking" so I am not extending the wrong page. So is there any problem with the code ?

Hi,

Well I tried this code:

pageextension 50010 MyExtension extends "Customer Card" { actions { // Add changes to page actions here modify(Contact) { Caption = 'Test Action'; } } }

and it is changed to Test Action as you can see in the attached image :

This means that it is working fine. I don't really know why it doesn't work for you !!

I don't know but perhaps try to Reset your sandbox !

After I reset my sandbox, I cannot reach my sandbox and got this error instead

What might cause this?

Try to Publish directly from VS code (F5 key) and specify in your launch.json :

"startupObjectId": 22, "startupObjectType": "Page",

This will publish your extension and open your sandbox without errors. You can change your Browser as well (use MS Edge fro example).

This is usually a problem from Microsoft servers side (after the last release some clients have problems creating and resetting their Sandboxes).

You can also if it doesn't work check in the Administration Center if it is created, if not create it with the link in the dashboard.

Here is a link where you can find more details and where you have a link to access directly your BC Administration Center:

Hi again,

Well this is the best response on the last error you got by a guy from Microsoft:

https://community.dynamics.com/business/f/758/t/304195

It explains why you get the error sometimes when you reset sandbox and how to overcome it (the same thing I suggested before + he suggest delete cookies / History and try again).

Hi, after I reset my sandbox, the coding is working now, but there is some action that cant be changed, such as New Document, Request Approval, Customer, etc.

Also how can I change the Customer Card Caption shown in the top left screen after the back button?

The code I tried to change Customer and Request Approval are:

modify("Request Approval")

{

Caption = 'Modified requestApproval Action';

}

modify("&Customer")

{

Caption = 'Modified Customer Action';

}

How can I change the New Document as it now show up automatically in the visual code AL like Request Approval and Customer?
