Al: Accessing table fields from another extension

[mtaanquist]

• AL Extension Version: 0.16.16948
• Server Version: DK Dynamics NAV 11.0 (22292)

With a recent NAV update, certain fields used in Danish payments for Vendors were moved from the table to extensions.

I'm now trying to build an extension that reads the value from the field "Giro Acc No.", but I'm not able to see it in a Vendor record variable.

Is this intended, or am I missing something in the symbols I download from the server?

If it is intended, how am I supposed to use these fields that were previously standard fields in an extension? RecordRefs and FieldRefs?

Hi @mtaanquist,
You need to declare in your app.json that you take a dependency on the extension, which will then require you to download the symbols for that extension afterwards.

  "dependencies": [
    {
      "appId": "644f7e5b-a81c-408a-aaa2-766e655a80a3",
      "name": "Payment and Reconciliation Formats (DK)",
      "publisher": "Microsoft",
      "version": "1.0.0.0"
    }
  ]

Hi @thpeder,

Thanks for the answer, that's very helpful! Is there a specific way to find the appId, other than looking into the "NAV App" table?

Cheers!

There is a Powershell command to get all the published extensions: Get-NAVAppInfo

Thank you for the assistance. I'll close out the issue. 😊
