Download AL Extension Code

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 7
Hello good day, I want to download the AL codes of an Extension from the D365 BC Extension Manager that a former collaborator of our company created, but it gives us the following error /The effective directives of this package do not allow the source code to be downloaded. Contact the extension provider for more information./.
And I want to know if there is any way to disable those directives and be able to download the code, since the ex-collaborator deleted the original code.
I have the same question (0)

    Hello, I'm sorry to hear that, but if it doesn't allow you to download the code, it's because the extension has been installed with this "Resource exposure policy" setting and with this "allowDownloadingSource" flag set to false.https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/devenv-security-settings-and-ip-protection

    Ok I understand, the problem is that we no longer have the original code to modify that directive, but within the permissions or Microsoft directives there is some way to download the source code.
