Unique Object ID's per type or per extension

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 27

Hello,

I was organizing the object ID's for my extension in preperation to convert all ID's to a new ID range for publishing within AppSource.

Now I found something strange. By accident two of my objects had the same ID, but the two objects had a different type, for example Table 50106 MyTable and Query 50106 MyQuery
This works fine.
Now logically the following does not work: Table 50106 MyTable and Table 50106 MySecondTable.

The question is, can I use the same ID for my objects, as long as the types are different, or do I need to assign an unique ID for all of my objects, regardless of type?

I have the same question (0)

    you can use the same ID for objects, as long as the types are different.

    Hi,

    Business Central is not resolving objects by their IDs, but by their names.

    Besides using the same Object Id for different Objects types, you can go further and use the same object ID for objects "Table" and "Tableextension", then "Page" and "Pageextension".
