# Business Central extensibility requests
Welcome to the ALAppExtension repository!

This repository is now solely for extensibility requests for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

It is no longer a place to contribute to Microsoft AL application add-ons. New pull requests are no longer accepted in this repository.
It is no longer a place to contribute to Microsoft AL application add-ons or other Business Central application code. New pull requests are no longer accepted here and will be closed automatically.

⚠ This repository is no longer a place to develop the Business Central application platform! The application is now fully developed in the [BCApps](https://github.com/microsoft/BCApps) repository. Please use that repository for all contributions. ⚠
For Business Central application contributions, use the [BCApps](https://github.com/microsoft/BCApps) repository.

## Contributing
## What to request here

This repository no longer accepts new pull requests for Microsoft's application add-ons. Please only create issues for extensibility requests, such as event requests, requests to make functions external, enum requests, or other extensibility enhancements.
Create an extensibility request issue when you need Microsoft to make the application easier to extend, for example:

* If you are looking to contribute code to the business application, you can do so in the [BCApps](https://github.com/microsoft/BCApps) repository.
- Add a new integration event.
- Change function visibility, for example by making a function external.
- Replace an option with an extensible enum.
- Make another extensibility enhancement that helps unblock your app.

**⚠IMPORTANT⚠:** This is not the right place to report product defects with customer impact to Microsoft! Issues created in this repository might not get picked up by the Microsoft engineering team and issues reported in this repository do not fall under SLAs (Service Level Agreements) and hence have no guaranteed time to mitigation, just as provided fixes won't get backported to all supported versions of the product.
Before creating a request, search existing issues to avoid duplicates and read the guidance for [creating extensibility requests](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/create-extensibility-request).

## Types of engagements
There is one way to engage with us here:
## What not to file here

* If you’re building your own app and need something specific from us, like an event, a function visibility change, or another extensibility enhancement, you can help improve the general extensibility of the business logic. For more information, see the [_Extensibility requests_](#extensibility-requests) section below.
- **Code contributions and pull requests:** Use [BCApps](https://github.com/microsoft/BCApps).
- **Product ideas:** Use [BC Ideas](https://aka.ms/bcideas).
- **Product defects or customer-impacting issues:** Use [Business Central support](https://aka.ms/bcsupport).

Issues in this repository do not fall under SLAs (Service Level Agreements), have no guaranteed time to mitigation, and provided fixes are not guaranteed to be backported to all supported versions of the product.

### Extensibility requests
The following are the types of requests you can submit to unblock your app:
## Data Collection

* Add new integration events – Get the event you need to hook-in to a process.
* Change function visibility – For example, make a public function external or a similar change so you can call it from your extension and reuse the business logic.
* Replace Option with Enum – Replace a specific option with an enum that supports your extension. The new type enum is extensible, but all code was written for non-extensible options.
* Extensibility enhancements – Request changes in the application code that will improve extensibility.

We’ll have a look at your request, and if we can we’ll implement it asap. If we can’t we’ll let you know and briefly explain why not. When that happens, don’t be discouraged. Go back to the drawing board, see if you can work it out, and then come back and submit another request.
