Business value
Features often require some data—for example, to initialize and set up. Until now, it has only been possible to add such data and consume from AL through the use of labels or code. In this release, we're adding the ability to include resources in extensions and access these from AL.
Feature details
Developers will be able to package resources in extensions and access the content of these resources from within AL code. This can be used to ship data for setup and initialization features (for example, for RapidStart packages, demo data, templates, and more), thereby avoiding having to use labels or codeunits for this purpose.
