Hi Phani AX2012,

which version are you asking about? You posted in D365 forum, but used tags ax2012 and Dynamics 365?

In AX2012 you can't write such extensions.

In D365FO you can use Chain of Command, check this doc page: docs.microsoft.com/.../method-wrapping-coc

Hi Phani,

you can use Chain of Command to create new methods on objects. The syntax is exactly the same! The only difference is that you don't call next because there's no base method that you would call.

You can add newMothod in COC, and call that. Just dont forgot where are you creating method (form or ds or on a field)

Each form data source, form control etc is a separate class and you need to create separate extension classes.

[ExtensionOf(formDataSourceStr(SalesCreateOrder,SalesTable))] final class SalesCreateOrderDataSource_Extension { public void write() { next write(); FormDataSource formDS = this; SalesTable salesTable = formDS.cursor();; this.setIsManualCreated(); } public void setIsManualCreated() { salesTable.IsManualCreated = true; } }

Instead of using COC for this case, Creating a event handler makes more sense, but the usage is that way.
