How do I add a custom Best Practice rule to look for an attribute?

Dear All

I wanted to add a new BP Rule that warns users whenever their methods in an object/class lacks the [Replaceable] attribute so that methods are extensible for others to be used. I couldn't find any examples online for this matter. Could anyone please give me a guideline on how to make this work?

Thanks

First of all, your question seems to be about F&O, therefore I've moved it from D365 general forum.

My understanding that you need to utilize BestPracticeMetadataChecker, list methods of a Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Metadata.MetaModel.AxClass and check its attributes. I don't remember properties that these classes have, but I think that AxClass has Methods property (giving your an array of objects representing methods) and that the method class has something like an Attributes property.

Classes can't be decorated with Replaceble attribute. And most methods shouldn't be either, because you normally don't want your logic to be ignored. That could often lead to very bad things, such as inconsistent database.
