This post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 Wave 2 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 Wave 2.

The 8th of the new functionality in the Development section is run code action for ‘with’ for file, project, or workspace.

The code action to convert ‘with’ statements to explicit records has only been only available for individual ‘with’ statements. However, most apps have many, many uses spread across the codebase, leading to a lot of unnecessary manual work to convert code. With this release, the code action to convert ‘with’ usage can now be run on the whole Document, the active Project as well as the complete Workspace level.

Enabled for: Admins, makers, marketers, or analysts, automatically
Public Preview: Oct 2024
General Availability: Oct 2024

Feature Details

Previously, Microsoft added generic support for running code actions on the active document, active project, or the complete workspace. This has been adopted by code actions, which are used for converting uses of ApplicationArea or tooltips. In this release, the code action to convert the usage of with can now be run on the entire document, the active project, as well as the complete workspace level. This makes it much more productive to convert the usage of with statements in existing code to use explicit records.

The 6th of the new functionality in the Copilot and AI innovation section is experience enhancements to Analysis Assist with Copilot.

Microsoft Copilot in Business Central is the AI-powered assistant that boosts creativity, improves productivity and eliminates tedious tasks. Copilot can help reduce the time it takes to identify trends and anomalies in your business data by enabling you to express your analysis as a simple sentence, and without ever leaving Business Central. By describing how you want to structure your data analysis, such as “show me vendors by location sorted by amount of purchases,” you can quickly get to insights instead of spending time on the clicks and keystrokes to construct analysis views. For example, you can use this feature to identify which vendors supply each of your warehouses, and then take steps to optimize your supply chain or negotiate better deals with your vendors.

• Improved reliability.
