Hi,

I have created a table 50000 Test in CAL, so Development environment.

Then I move to VS Code, create new project download symbols, but the table 50000 Test can not be seen or referenced at all.
It is like it does not exist at all ?!?!

The same with fields . I have added some fields in 50000 range on the Customer table in CAL.

Now when I start VS code and download the symbols, and try to reference the fields from customer table in the range 50000 , they just do not appear. It is like they do not exist at all.

It seems that extension can only be used to extend base app tables/fields or another extension ?
Is there a way that I can reference CAL customised fields or tables in an extension.

The issue is in BC14 so Spring edition Cu3

Thanks for your help.

Hey,

Just as Stefano mentioned, you need generate a symbol reference.

Then you will need to download symbols again and then your AL extension should be able to see the field.

If you've worked with C/AL, in order to be able to see the C/AL modifications in AL and VS Code you need to generate symbols for your database with:

finsql.exe Command=generatesymbolreference, Database=<DatebaseName>, ServerName=<ServerName>

Here all is explained in details:
