Posted on by Fred Xu

I tried to add AOT Fields to AOT table via below X++ in D365, but it get error "Unable to etract node content to disk. The file '%1' is read-only".

Can anyone give me a idea on how to add AOT Fields to AOT table via X++ in D365?

public static void main(Args _args)
{
        #AOT
        TreeNode tableNode;
        AotTableFieldList myAOTTablefieldList;
        SysDictTable sysDictTable = new SysDictTable(tablenum(TestTable));
        ;
        myAOTTablefieldList = new AotTableFieldList();

tableNode = TreeNode::findNode(#TablesPath+'\\'+sysDictTable.name());

myAOTTablefieldList = TreeNode::findNode(#TablesPath+'\\'+sysDictTable.name() + "\\Fields");

        if(!myAOTTablefieldList.AOTfindChild("Name"))
        {
            myAOTTablefieldList.addString("Name");
        }

tableNode.AOTsave();
}

Another approach could be like since now, objects are stored as xml files, those files could be directly opened and edited as xml files.

Fields could be added using a similar to below node. I guess a refresh of AOT would be required to view the fields in front end.

<Fields>

<AxTableField xmlns=""

i:type="AxTableFieldString">

<Name>Name</Name>

<ExtendedDataType>FMRentalAdditionName</ExtendedDataType>

<Mandatory>Yes</Mandatory>

</AxTableField>

</Fields>

Hi Fred,

AOTsave is not working as the development environment and runtime are split. You cannot edit the AOT on runtime. What are you exactly trying to achieve?

I want to add a new field to a table when a button is clicked on a form. Then display the new field on form, and user can specify a value to the new field.

Your technical design can't be implemented. If you explain the business problem you tried to solve by this design, we may be able to suggest an alternative that is possible.

There won't be any XML to edit in production; source code isn't deployed there.
