A common production complaint sounds like this: “Both extensions work correctly when we test them separately. When we install them together, the result changes.” Sometimes a validation disappears. Sometimes the same integration record is created twice. Sometimes a standard posting…
A dangerous Business Central extension upgrade often begins with a change that looks harmless: “We only renamed one field and replaced its Text value with an Enum.” The new version compiles. It installs successfully in a clean sandbox. The page…
