Posted on by Thiran 85

Hi,

I have a Dimension Set Entry table for which I need to add, edit and delete options made available via coding without using any extensions.

Please confirm how to achieve the functionality using coding logic.

I have the same question (0)

    1. I doubt You can make any changes to the standard table/codeunit without using extension

    2. I would not recommend addin/editing or deleting anything from the Dimension Set Entry (only if You delete all )

    Hi ,

    Dimension set entry table holds multiple dimension sets with their respective dimension set IDs.

    We do can achieve this via coding where you can add/delete/edit but behind the scene, there are multiple validations and checks which the system does.

    What would be purpose of doing the same, if I may ask ??

    Regards,

    Tanya Kharbanda

    It is not recommended that you modify Dimension Set Entry table directly, because the data in this table is managed by group. If you directly modify the options in it, it will affect all the data using this Dimension Set ID.

    If you really want to try to modify, check out the codeunit below.

    Anything you want to do in code in Business Central requires you to write an extension (app).

    If you don't want that, then check out the APIs:
