This pull request updates repository documentation and configuration to reflect that new pull requests are no longer accepted in the ALAppExtensions repository. It introduces automation to block new pull requests, updates guidance for contributors, and clarifies the types of issues that are still accepted (extensibility requests). The most important changes are summarized below:

Repository Policy Updates:

  • Updated CONTRIBUTING.md to state that new pull requests will be closed automatically and only extensibility requests remain open; also clarified the process for product defect reporting and support.
  • Updated FAQ.md to indicate that code contributions should now be made to the BCApps repository, and removed outdated guidance about .NET type wrapper pull requests.
  • Updated the pull request template (.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md) to inform users that new pull requests are no longer accepted and will be closed automatically.

Issue and Contribution Workflow Changes:

  • Removed the "Implement a BC Idea" and "Fix a bug" issue templates, and updated config.yml to direct users to external sites for feature and bug requests; clarified that feature implementation and bug-fix contribution issues are no longer available here. [1] [2] [3]
  • Added a note to the extensibility request template clarifying that only extensibility requests are still accepted as issues.

Automation and Enforcement:

  • Added a GitHub Actions workflow (.github/workflows/BlockNewPullRequests.yml) to automatically comment on and close any new pull requests created after a specified cutoff date, explaining the repository policy.

Other Documentation Adjustments:

  • Updated FAQ labels section to clarify the historical use of the "Call-for-contributors" label.

These changes ensure clear communication to contributors about the repository's new maintenance mode and enforce the updated contribution policy.

Could not find a linked ADO work item. Please link one by using the pattern 'AB#' followed by the relevant work item number. You may use the 'Fixes' keyword to automatically resolve the work item when the pull request is merged. E.g. 'Fixes AB#1234'
